Manage episode 305246858 series 2890883
Interviewed the day before her 21st birthday, Yax reveals a source of wisdom and seriousness worthy of a much older person. In her view, the migrant condition as a person who is “Neither from here nor from there” is not necessarily tragic, but rather an opportunity to know oneself better.

Facundo Cabral & “No soy de aquí ni de allá” (I’m not from here, nor from there”)
The song was written in 1970 and is probably the best-known song by the great Argentinean singer-songwriter-philosopher-artivist. It has been covered by a great many artists, among them Alberto Cortez (see Episode #10, Abel Ruíz).
The two Wikipedia articles are different but each is quite good:
