'Estrella del Norte' by Quetzal

Martha Gonzalez, Quetzal Flores (of the Grammy-winning band, Quetzal) and their son Sandino perform "Estrella del Norte. The song was inspired by "Follow the Drinking Gourd," which was taught to Black children during slavery to help guide them to freedom. This piece was written by 15-year-old Sandino Gonzalez-Flores.
