Casas de Carton - Central American Music it begins: How sadly live my people in their houses of cardboard.

2/24/2015

Like Elvis Presley's "in the Ghetto" here is some music from Central America. It also deals with the same sad conditions that we are trying hard to alleviate with the profit from Family Coffee.
For those who don't understand the Spanish a few the lines are: "How sad to hear the rain on the roof".
"It is a day without a tomorrow" and one part with a great reality "It's hard to believe there are dogs living in the houses of those who exploit. They even have schools for the dogs" In Guatemala we have many children who are unable to go to school.

The photo above is from a trip we were able to take with our neighbors. They are at the Music Museum where they learned about the history of music in their country and the instruments used by the Mayan people.
