Jorge Nasser, "Carritos de mi Ciudad"
(Uruguay) Jorge Nasser is a mainstay of the Uruguayan pop music scene, having made his debut CD in 1984. "Carritos De MI Ciudad" is an ode to the poor of Montevideo, who scavenge for a living on the streets of the city, unnoticed and unremarked by the well to do. The poor do not have cars, only their hands feet and sometimes a small horse drawn cart ("carrito") which they pile high with urban detritus, to be sold outside the city for food.
