We decided to carry out this musical social campaign because we want to reach (the people at their) homes in one way or another with our Mexican music (00:18-00:32).2.)Here we are reaching each of their homes with songs and especially this month with the important Mother's Day celebrations, we are paying them a nice tribute (00:37-00:52).3.) If the government does not listen to us and give us a solution, we will have to go out on the street regardless of the risks because we have to work. We have to provide for our family (03:06-03:17).
