Candombe
the identity.
How can this be? How did an African-based cultural form come to be practiced and populated mainly by white people? And how has the capital of a country that has historically prided
itself on
its European heritage and traditions--remember when Uruguay used to bill itself as the Switzerland of South America?--come to embrace an African-based musical form, candombe,
as a core element of its cultural identity?

The
MapuChe saga from Roca to Benetton Live from Santa Rosa :
Against all the odds , unprecedented level of violence , injustice and
genocid efor the last 500 years against a murderers military thugs and
dictatorship and now against a corrupt legal system , corrupt judges and
elitist democracy that's a tool in the hands of heartless and immoral
multinasionalist companies and the like of Benetton . The Mapuche in Argentina
and many of them are still here asking for justice and sense of humanity
that seems it has been truly missing from a Shameless Governments that
is actively selling their lands to the highest bidders ... It's an ugly
history and ugly present this film is about the MapuChe-people of the
Earth : from Roca to Benetton.

From
Bolivia with love the other Hip Hop :
In Bolivia hip hop is a voice for the voiceless , a force for a positive change , a threat to a corrupt, racist and violent system. Hip hop the potential and the possible has been realized , it has been doing what is suppose to be doing from the beginning before it was co-opted and neutralized and became the destructive force that it's now in the USA.
Arguably, Hip Hop is the only intellectual art form that has been created in the last 50 years ...An art form that articulates the pain, suffering, and point of view of a generation and served as a voice of resistance
against a system that has continued to denigrate and neglect the very same
people that was suppose to serve and protect , let a alone their argument's ... Strangely it was structured by the most endangered ethnic group in North America ... Young African-Americans from the South Bronx.
