In 1972 I was in Cienaga, Colombia SA. My friends and I were enjoying Arepas de huevo and Guarapo, while waiting for the Ferry to Barranquilla. Carlos, who we called the Joker, played a song for me “Los Americanos.” He said it was Political, and that it made fun of America. I did not get it, maybe because I was 14. Now, I think it applies to everyone born on the American Continent.


 

Los Americanos (Piero)

(some lyrics)

Ellos nacen ancianos, y van envejeciendo, a través de la vida Los americanos Luciendo mil colores, Todos menos el negro Al que no consideran, del gusto americano

 

Y en los clubes nocturnos, despues de algunas copas Se sienten inspirados, los americanos Y es muy común hallarlos, bailando sin descanso Derrochando la gracia, de los americanos
