Can't remember where I left the list, but I can certainly share the ones I've used most this last year, so here's another song list

To talk about LGBQT+ and break a bit the heteronormativity in songs these days:
To highlight and celebrate AfroLatinx music:
To protest about events that are still not resolved:
To celebrate our indigenous groups, beyond Mayans and Náhua Mexicas, in this case, with Rarámuri communities:
To talk about what it means to speak up, and to stand for what you really believe:
This one to demonstrate why we should not believe everything that the TV and major media outlets show, but rather, to question and research beyond the primetime news:
This one to talk about being less worried for the future, and make the most about what we can control with our present:
and finally, the song Quimbara, in two parts: when Celia performed this amazing song in Kinshasa, former Zaire, now República Democrática del Congo, in a 70k concert:
and this amazing cover, created by Alberto Barros but performed by an all Femme of Color orchestra:
I want to end this thread by reminding us that we should NOT tell other teachers what songs are "better" or "worse". Some have more freedom to explore deeper while others may be restricted by their own beliefs and morals. This is for collaboration and continuous learning...
is for collaboration and continuous learning...
...just like we say in Spanish: "en gustos se rompen géneros", we should honor our lived experiences as educators, and never assume that one teacher speaks on behalf of a rich, vast, and diverse musical background. #LangChat
