The Cotorie - Deportees Plane Wreck At Los Gatos

Review by Fidel Baybayan

Cotorie's album Deportees Plane Wreck At Los Gatos is a moving tribute to the lives lost in the tragic plane crash of 1948. The album is a collection of songs that tell the stories of the 28 Mexican migrant workers who perished in the crash, and the injustice they faced both in life and in death.

The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through the lives of the deportees, with each song telling a different story.

One standout track is "El Corrido de Rosalio," which tells the story of a young man who was forced to leave his family behind in Mexico and come to the United States to find work. The song is both heartbreaking and uplifting, with its beautiful melody and powerful lyrics.

Summary by Fidel Baybayan

Cotorie's Deportees Plane Wreck At Los Gatos is a masterful tribute to the lives lost in the plane crash, and a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by migrant workers both then and now. The album is a must-listen for anyone interested in social justice and the power of music to tell important stories.
