The perfect song to kick off your Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration!! Gina Chávez is from Austin, Texas, and her family is Mexican. She did not grow up speaking Spanish, but studied abroad in Argentina in college. She also spent time teaching English in El Salvador and later established a fund to help some of the girls that she befriended while there attend college. This is my favorite Gina song: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brGfaJb1l2c] Download her bio and song lyrics with activities here!
