Olguita Acuna, a Nicaraguan artist exiled in Costa Rica, channels her pain and experiences into music, addressing repression and loss through song.
"My people cry, and they cry for all the blood shed due to repression... It's easier to get a song across to the public than a political speech," Acuna shares.
Acuna's journey from selling popcorn to performing reflects her commitment and resilience, using her voice to raise awareness about political oppression and personal losses.
"I knew I was getting my family in danger... I'd rather have you far from me than buried," Acuna recalls, highlighting the risks she faced.
