about

Another big early influence on my music. Manu Chao and Mano Negra were a big opponent to the globalization movement and the signing of the north American free trade agreement which basically raped the working class and indigenous people of Mexico. Monopolies and corruption have left so many devastated in it’s wake since it’s inception. The Zapatistas were the sole force within Mexico that rose up to protest and fight back to no avail. In making an album dedicated to María Sabina – a song by Manu Chao only seemed fitting given his empathetic and important political messages.

lyrics

Me llaman el desaparecido
Que cuando llega ya se ha ido
Volando vengo, volando voy
Deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido
Cuando me buscan nunca estoy
Cuando me encuentran yo no soy
El que está enfrente porque ya
Me fui corriendo más allá
Me dicen el desaparecido
Fantasma que nunca está
Me dicen el desagradecido
Pero esa no es la verdad
Yo llevo en el cuerpo un dolor
Que no me deja respirar
Llevo en el cuerpo una condena
Que siempre me echa a caminar
Me dicen el desaparecido
Que cuando llega ya se ha ido
Volando vengo, volando voy
Deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido
Me dicen el desaparecido
Fantasma que nunca está
Me dicen el desagradecido
Pero esa no es la verdad
Yo llevo en el cuerpo un motor
Que nunca deja de rolar
Yo llevo en el alma un camino
Destinado a nunca llegar
Me llaman el desaparecido
Cuando llega ya se ha ido
Volando vengo, volando voy
Deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido
Perdido en el siglo... siglo XX... rumbo al XXI
