Señor Inversionista - Mister Investor (Puerto Rican Communist Song)

A song originally written by Puerto Rican musician Roy Brown and released under a label owned by the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, it later became a symbol of the riots at the University of Puerto Rico that began in 1970. In this version the lyrics were slightly altered to be more revolutionary by the Progressive Labor Party. Original Version: Performer: Progressive Labor Party Year recorded: 1970s Composer: Roy Brown Year Composed: 1969 Source: Vinyl Record “A World to Win“ Image: “Dos Alas“ (Two Wings) mural in East Harlem, New York.
