Great for community or college ensembles.  Celebrates the diversity of the Latino culture in the United States.  Duration approximately 10 minutes. America Belongs to Us explores the idea of the immigrant – coming from another country and growing roots in America, the land of opportunity for all.  Leaving behind all that they know, they move to an unfamiliar country, often leaving family, friends behind, to hopefully make a better life for themselves and for the generations to come.
