Cringetoberday 15: Song Lyrics

"El Costo de la Vida" (The Cost of Living) is a song by Dominican Republic singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra.
The lyrics to the song provides a social commentary to the rising cost of living, while the artist denounces the dislevel of socioeconomics as well as political corruptions in Latin America. He also references the racial identities of Latin America.
It is one of the album's two protest songs, in which Guerra sings about "tragi-comical, socio- political realities". In the song, he strongly denounces the dislevel of socioeconomics as well as political corruptions. Guerra critiques the consequences of the global economic situation in Latin America and proclaims: "Nobody cares because we don't speak English, not Mitsubishi, not Chevrolet". He also comments about the cost of living going up stating "you can't eat beans anymore or a pound of rice or a measure of coffee".Guerra also makes references to the racial identities of Latin America since the encounter of the New World by European settlers 500 years ago and asks "but, who discover whom?"

I copied and pasted (because I was lazyWink/Razz ) a description/summary of what the song is about, it is a classic, the beat go SO HARD and if you live in Latin America you feel the lyrics in your soul. Especially now that everything is going downhill and we don't know what will happen if things don't change... Excuse me while I proceed to dance in anxiety and tears TvT
