I am a lower middle class graduate student living a married life, working an ass-kicking, spirit-lifting job (high school science teacher). I am also a native puertorrican. I get her, even though we here in the island have not experienced close to genocidical conditions in the pass 450 years, even though we have not experienced close to cataclismical events in the past month. I am a hispanicamerican living in the caribbean, and i am glad that a song like this exists. It reminds me that there is an intense afrocaribbean spirit close to my home. This is a great band, refreshingly poetic. My favorite song in the album is Haiti, and right next to it Wake Up (It reminds me that life is a dialectical roller coaster, full of sweetness, sadness, despair, growth, strife, and bits and pieces of what is quite frecuently called happiness). |
