Latin American Sentiment

Some of my friends are curious about what it is like in South America. I am not a good enough writer to put it eloquently in a few words. So here I would like to share a pieces of music to give you a brief idea.
Calle 13 - Latinoamerica [Lyrics with translation]

I first heard this song years ago but had never felt as strongly connected to it until I made my way to South America. (Calle 13 is a popular band in Latin America. calle means 'street' in Spanish. A lot of their songs portray the social situations as well as culture of Latin America. If you are interested in knowing more, definitely check them out.)

When I first arrived here, I was very overwhelmed by how incredibly generous latin people were. Before you come here, leave your individualism at home.
"Aquí se comparte, lo mío es tuyo." Here we share with each other. What's mine is yours.
