Hit on the audio at this Herald link to hear the “Save Hialeah Park” song. Also check out the You Tube entry featuring Alex Fuentes. According to the Miami Herald:Alex Fuentes, founder of Citizens to Save Hialeah Park, asked Los Primeros to come up with a song that would draw attention to Hialeah Park:
"I knew how hard it would be to lyricize something like Hialeah Park, but they pulled it off," Fuentes said. "It was very emotional for me to hear it but they also managed to make it fun and also do it in a way where you can dance to it. I was overwhelmed."
A development of regional impact is being pedaled at the State level for historic Hialeah Park. I think the protest song is an important addition to the effort to "Save Hialeah Park." Alex: I like it. The tune is catchy...and it has a great dance beat!

Song was very good, surprisingly so.
The Miami Herald link sounds distorted if you want to hear a much clearer version go to their myspace page it will play automatically.
These guys are awesome! When was the last time a hip-hop group created a song demanding that somthing historic be saved?
Positive rap is the wave of the future...at least it should be.

I love what the protesters are doing at Hialeah... what they need to do, is to connect the future of the race track up with all the idiotic pot hole politics that keep the same old wrecking crew in power there. Maybe a demonstration at City Hall is in order.
The surfers did it, in North Miami Beach. And in Palm Beach, Everglades activists took on FPL.

I love that they have a song now! I remember Hialeah Park growing up. My parents used to take me on the weekend for the brunches they had there. It was beautiful then.
