Social Movements & Music in Latin America (Lp11182011)

From the trenches and living under bridges, to being blessed with an outlet to express my self through my paintings and musical creations. Still always fighting to be a better person and give this world  the best me that I can be. If you feel like me and believe we can make a change then let’s put in the work to make this world a better place than it was yesterday.
