"Son Sin Fin" music video Los Cojolites

The first Son Jarocho music video by Los Cojolites, the innovators of the Son Music from the Souther Coast of Veracruz. Son Jarocho is an old tradition of communities of musicians coming together to play their hand made instruments (Jarnas, Requintos, harps, etc) at parties know as Fandagos. Traditionally the woman dance a Mexican tap, known as el Sapateo. The Cojolites reinvigorated this tradition in the late 1990's. Son Jarocho now has become very popular amongst the youth in Veracruz, and this video is great showcase of this unique music.

Animals have good instincts for this sort of thing. If Michoacan is so special for them there must be a good reason. Hosted by Roberto Mitrotti less

The Japanese needed to build a railroad in record time between Thailand and India a and they used their war prisoners to do it. Construction of the Thailand-Burma Railway began on September 16, 1942. The Railway, was to transport 3,000 tons of supplies per day to the frontline troops in Burma. Much of it required high bridges cut through mountains and jungle. The human cost was incredibly high. The railway operated for just 21 months before it was crippled by Allied weapons, The train runs daily between Kanchanaburi and the current terminus at Nam Tok going over the bridge and passing over the equally impressive Wampo Viaduct, also built by prisoners of war. 61,000 Allied prisoners of war are believed to have labored on the railway under impossible conditions, including 30,000 British, 18,000 Dutch, 13,000 Australian, and 700 American soldiers. 16,000 of those troops died, many of them from diseases like cholera, beri beri, malaria, and typhoid, Another 200,000 Asian laborers, mostly Thai, were forced to work on the railway. More than 80,000 lost their lives. less
