Volume 5. OH, MY LAND! (Ay mi tierra!)

¿What is a territory for us? How do we define it? What is our relationship to it? In the music of the Llanos or Eastern Prairies, songs which spring from a cattle-rearing economy describe the close relationship between man and his land. With the help of the Grupo Cimarrón and its lead singer Ana Veydó, we tell stories about lands and settlers. In the jungles and prairies of Colombia, the heritage over the fight for land which began 500 years ago is still alive and important. One of the harshest paradoxes of Colombia is that the regions richest in natural resources are the places with the strongest social conflicts and the greatest poverty.
