great video! I'm from Mexico and even if I can't understand most of what is being said I still love this music its so great and it reminds me of my country in that both Mexico and the countries in Africa share so many things in common like even though both sadly have so many problems with things like violence and poverty we still have an amazingly rich and great culture and people who love their countries more than anything!
