To understand Latin American culture and its essence, in several aspects, you have to understand how different countries have been shaped by their political uprisings.

Using their own experiences as musicians who lived during political hard times, Esquivel and Gonzalez get into the meaning behind music's power to spread messages, how they looked up to musicians from the U.S. like Pete Seeger using their music for movements there and more.
