Coachella Valley, California 1935. A young Mexican Farm worker in a Labor Camp plays guitar and sings. His song talks about what he sees during, what he describes as, unhappy times. Some of the things he sings about is about the lack of food and how there is no light seen from the houses. In a way I think that this is how this young man expressed his feelings, playing the guitar and singing songs. It was the only way to get things of his chest because he couldn’t just leave because he and his family needed the little money he received for his work their because of the hard times they were facing.
