The things that called my attention was the way he express his feelings about the problems of Lationamerica , the metaphors or comparisons that he used in the lyric and allso the images and the effects that we can see in this video are very creative and it is shown that they worked in the video for can send the right message .
3)How might different people understand this message differently ?
tI think that its depend of the situation that is living the person. For example people that suffer that problems and know how its to live in that way would know that its so hard and would have a feeling with the song , because they would understand the message and they would feel represented , but in the other hand would exist people that dont care the song and the things that trasmitted , because maybe they dont know the real things that some people have to live.
4)What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in , or omitted from , tihs message?
The video and the song represented the lifestyles of latinoamerican persons , how they have to survive to the injustices , the abuse of power for part of the goverments and also the feeling with our land and the social inequality.
5) Why is this message being sent?
The message is sent because he wants to show that latinoamerica its not alone , that itts a place where so much people fight every day for their dreams , for to live every day their lives . Also because its time to show the community the problems that exist around us and realize that we can change that if we want and only depend of us!
To complete your reflection, I can say some people don't care the song because political reasons. I mean, some people believe that Calle 13 and some similar bands makes "communist music". Some of those people follow right-wing ideas, and have "justified" prejudices against left-winged ideas, tending to make a relation between social problems and violence and, of course, communism.
ReplyDeleteIn Latin America we have a complicated issue with communism. Here in Chile is worse. Just see how some people react with student or Aysén movements.
In other way, musically is a great mix of Folk and Hip Hop, an inussual but interesting mixture, made just in lands with a strong local identity, able to create a song with foreign and local folk influences.
Good song! Greetings!
