Walking piece
For a migrant, the only thing he has to keep going is the long path of life accompanied by good music. All people who migrate will always return to their country of origin, to their roots and to dream again as they always did.

Today you come back like the wind, where do you come from? What cities did you visit? What do you think of each of those cities? Where did your dreams get lost? Let’s hope we find them again. What path will we follow to find our dreams?
I’m going back home, mom, dad, although I’ve walked alone and sad, I must tell you that I’ve met a new world, in my town, dreams are awakening again, and I’m not wrong when I say all this.
The only thing you have to keep going is the long path of life accompanied by good music.
All people who migrate will always return to their country of origin, to their roots and to dream again as they always did.
Every step you take, every decision you make will leave traces, the paths are discovered on the way, they are an adventure, the adventure of seeing the world with new eyes, new friends, new relationships with family, etc…
Being a walker of life is to search, build and discover a place in the world in a liberating way.
A world full of cultural diversity is what I present to you, each one has their own path but, as an indigenous person I can tell you that for us our path is connected through the common things that we have in our indigenous diversity, I invite you to discover this biodiversity and this path does not have to be only for indigenous people, you can also join, let’s go and walk together!
