EL GUAJIRO CUBANO

"Libre" (in English: "Freedom") was the third song ever written by Guatemalan singer / songwriter Shery. As she confess, it marked a turning point in her life. It's about the freedom   more...to truly be yourself and pursue your dreams without fear. In Shery's own words: "Before this song, I was obscured inside my shadows, on my way to live a frustrating life. But just after life forced me to write "Libre", something inside me changed forever, on a very deep level. So I burned all my ships, left my "normal" life behind, and decided to dedicate my existence to the love of my life, music. This song is dedicated to all the people that still dream in this world".  less

"Me Converti en Roca" (In English: "I Became a Rock"), is an original song written by young Guatemalan singer / songwriter Shery, which is included in her debut album "El amor   more...es un fantasma". It's a song about love, but not normal love. It's about what happens when a broken, immense love hurts so much, that you can't even cry anymore, and your only choice is to stop feeling - and become a rock. In her own words: "Me Converti en Roca is quite an autobiographical song. It talks about me, about one of the deep, brutal feelings that propelled me out of my normal easy life and got me into the strange, obscure but marvelous world of music". So take a minute right now and listen to this wonderful song, which will connect directly with your heart and make you FEEL, beyound the barriers of languate. And if you like it, spread the word!  less

The ability to destabilize foreign elected governments at will has led to the same ability here at home. Decades of dirty wars to topple governments hostile to US corporate interestshas led to danger   more...at home and abroad.
