Estrella Artau - Puerto Rico: Algo Se Quema Alla a Fuera

Through these songs we can see the pain, desperation, and courage, of we who are oppressed by this capitalist system. The oppressors have US in a strangle-hold, but they have not succeeded in shutting US up. But, we will not shut up! We will keep on singing, denouncing the physical and mental tortures that are occurring here in our America. I sing to the peasant, to the student and also to the tycoon, with rebellion, without patience, and without firearms. My weapon is my voice, my weapon is the sadness of being born and raised in a colony: Puerto Rico. We know that the sun is rising for our America, and that those who are guilty of our imprisonment are already facing the consequences, because something is burning out there!
