Memories of revolution
Carmen Iris | Little Falls, MN USA | 03/21/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the 1960's the University of Puerto Rico was dealing with the same issues as many American universities. We were protesting the Viet Nam war and claiming our rights to have some say in the university's decisions, especially the ROTC. It was a violent time in our campus. There, like in many others, people were hurt and some died in confrontations with the police. Roy Brown was our voice through his songs. I remember many impromptu concerts held by him in various area of the campus. Some were previews of what would happen next, others came after things would calm down. This album has those songs. The songs we would sing along with Roy. I didn't know a single woman among us 'radicals' that didn't have a crush on him. He is the memory of what was then. The song 'Mr Con Macana' refers to an actual incident when he was clubbed by the police. I loved finding the recording after so many years. These songs record the history of an era."
