  1. I've posted this before but it's so good that it's worth repeating.

    The Anthem for the indigenous guard, which joined the social protests in Colombia. This version is made collectively by many famous local artists.

    "Adelante compañeros, dispuestos a resistir.
    Defender nuestros derechos, así nos toque morir"

    It's so powerful and heartfelt it always makes me tear up a little bit. ✊🏽

  2. Another Velandia-Lizcano hit from the insurrection 2 years ago.
    This one about "The Infiltrated", or the plant, a police officer pretending to be a protestor to infiltrate the protest.

    The chorus says, "Whoever doesn't jump is the plant"
    People sang this on the streets, jumped around, had a blast, ended up changing the government.

    Good stuff.

  3. In this one Edson Velandia and Adriana Lizcano tell about a time the devil came as a politician but was defeated by a guy called Juvenal.

    Explicit lyrics, in Spanish.

  4. Edson Velandia is a Colombian artist from Santander that makes very political, very satirical music.

    This song was a bit of an anthem in the big protests that gripped the country 2 years ago. In it Velandia wonders why is it that rich people want to get everything for free, while we build the cities, cook the food, drive the buses, grow the food, etc.

    Class consciousness.
