Cancion Mixteca should be the anthem for all migrant, immigrant, and refugee people. Especially as the great Harry Dean Stanton, born in Kentucky but with a Mexican heart, sings it. RIP.

HE IS AMERICAN MADE but...HIS HEART♥️ IS PURO MEXICANO❣️💓💞💕REST IN PEACE MI AMIGO✝️

[catalinaortoljo]

Cancion Mixteca - He feels this in his soul as much as any of us of Mexican descent do. You cannot fake that. ❤

[richardlogan]

The greatest of talents. The greatest actor of his generation and probably beyond. He deserved far more honors than he received in his life. RIP Legend.

[jorgegonzales]

Born in Kentucky with a heart from Mexico. Thank you Harry. Applause.

[jesushuerta]

Stanton comes in when he feels like it, and the freakin band is right on the money..

[robertlee]

He was a schmaltz Meister! These songs require the deep slow vibrato he had that almost wobbles off pitch but rescues itself at the last second. It’s thrilling.

The second song, Cancion Mixteca, my Dad used to play on his guitar and sing for me. Hadn't heard it for many, many years. RIP mi padre querido.
