102 Earthworks: Miguel: Mexico Chapter 1
Музыка
"Miguel says, “most people think of me as solely a black artist, but there’s a reason why my name is Miguel” as he, his father and his brother visit dad’s native Mexico together for the first time. In this clip of Earthworks, the award-winning singer/songwriter/producer meets the Mexican half of his family for the first time and connects with them through classic ballads and plenty of good food.

I'm Dominican and I'm happy that Miguel is finally sharing a little bit about his Latino heritage. Being Latino is an identity and it is so important to us always acknowledging our heritage no matter what.
that's crazy how my 6th grade teacher is miguels dad i still remember how he used to tell us to vote for him 😌

Miguel is the perfect combination of a half Mexican half African American !!! His features ❤️❤️
Man being Mexican and not living in Mexico makes me realize that they are so happy with the little they got. And us on the other hand the more we have the less happy we are. I felt the love. One day soon I too, hope I can visit my half of my family
Miguel is so humble
Omg he was here in Michoacan?! I live here omg I'm dead. I'm so proud that he embraces both sides of his bloodline that's so beautiful

We come back. Don't worry.
I first heard of Miguel when I was 14 years old in 8th grade back in 2010.. just thought he was a very talented young black man never thought he was half Mexican. I also have family in Michoacán from my dad's side. How cool! Really enjoyed this video!

I'm glad his not ashamed to be half Mexican. But here in America they look at Mexican people down upon as less but in reality being Mexican or any race shouldn't look down upon we should all be thanking each other no matter what race we are.
I'm surprised people just realized he's half Mexican. Look into the people who creates the music you listen to. ✌🏽️🇺🇸🇲🇽☀️
OMG I never knew that Miguel was half Mexicano Wow Viva La Mexico ! ❤

"How can Miguel be brown and black at the same time?" Because he's Miguel!!!
Very true what Miguel said you feel like you're home when you go back to your parents country. It grounds you in a way. As much as we are proud and lucky to be in the US, it's important to go back to learn, indulge, experience where you're family is from. I was blessed to take my children 2nd generation American Mexican to my mothers town. They loved and soaked everything in! Gracias Miguel for being proud of our Mexican roots!🇲🇽

1st time I heard Miguel was with the song sure thing back in 08 or 09 before it blew up
This is super cool! New found respect for Miguel
How did I not know about this series?!?! Thanks KZread for recommending 3 years later
Wow this is great. I had a similiar experience with my family in Panama. My dad passed away when I was 17(I'm 36 now) and 5 years ago I started to look up my last name on facebook in the city where my father is from and a whole list of people popped up. The first time I met them it was like I found another part of me that was missing. We are mostly boys here in the US and they are mostly girls in Panama...but I felt like I was hanging out with my brothers but they were mis primas. Needless to say I've traveled to Panama 4 times in the past 5 years...and everytime I go down there all of my family come out in herds to hang out with me...its the greatest. No lie got a little choked watching this lol

There is a bitter and dirty feeling called envy that is in heart of all those people who have not done anything important in their lives!. Let Miguel BE who he is ment to be!. With your support or without it He is a talented man and his talent you can not deny!. May God bless his career and guide him so everything He does He does it with pride and love!. That is all that counts!. One opportunity, one life ....use all the energy you guys have to take care of your own lifes and don't waisted trying to judge others in their efforts to be happy and successful!.
This reminds me of when me and my family went to Jamaica for the first time. My dad’s family is from Kingston and he hadn’t been there since he was a little kid, it really felt like a homecoming
