Llegan los norteños
Guillermo Velázquez
Played by Guillermo Velázquez y Los Leones de la Sierra de Xichú

Guillermo Velázquez, poet and musician from the Sierra Gorda of central México, has an extraordinary talent for composing words and music that are sharp and memorable and which capture the reality of life in Mexico today. In this song Guillermo describes the contradictions provoked by mass emigration from his village to the fields of the U.S. The villagers who return home for the annual fiesta come in search of an identity that lost on their journey north.
