My group and I have had many ideas to create a composition, and after many attempts we finally have the one. Our song is about the latin american identity; we show what we think. We take into consideration all the things we have seen in other subjects such as Social Studies, where we talk about the indigenous people; Spanish where we learn about the colonization of the Americas by the europeans; and English where we discuss colonial tourism and the apertheid system. (Conection)
As a reference, we have the group “Calle 13” that uses different rhythms, musical styles, instruments, vocal techniques and lyrics we want to use as guides. Also, the group “Los Prisioneros” helps us think about other rhythms and types of music that latinamerica has. We are composing a ballad with some sounds from “música andina”.
The roles and composition tools:
Juanita Godoy--- Maracas.
Natalia Echandía--- Piano.
Alejandra Vergara--- Palo de agua.
Juanita Bonilla--- Piano.
Manuela Becerra--- Cajón and cymbals.
Sara Recalde---Ringing bells.

All of us help with the lyrics and each of us was present in the composition of the melody helping with our instruments. Also we use the computer, sharing in an online document the ideas of the lyrics and this is what we have:
Somos Latino America-
Tenemos los mares
Tenemos cordilleras
También tenemos
Tanques de guerra
Tenemos belleza
que es incomparable
de esa que no se ve
en cualquier parte.
Somos campesinos
que vemos el futuro
unos trabajadores
que no olvidan
sus temores
Cultivamos café
El mate también
y toda nuestra fe
es para hacer el bien
Nuestra historia empezó
antes de la colonia,
antes de que llegaran
con una corona.
Luchamos por lo mismo:
por nuestra identidad
por no tener prejuicios
e ir más allá .
CORO (cantadito)
Aunque unos son blancos
y otros son negros,
unos mestizos
y otros morenos.
De aquí nadie nos saca
esta es nuestra tierra,
Tú eres mi hermano
y nadie va de guerra.
