Latin rocker Juanes projects political voice in U.S.

Eight years ago, Colombian rocker Juanes was an immigrant seeking opportunities in Los Angeles before he found a music producer who gave him his big break.

Today, Juanes is probably the most universal of Latin America’s stars, having sold 10 million records worldwide from Japan to Germany with his fusion of Latin folk music and rock, sung in Spanish.

At 35, he’s determined to put that clout to good use, whether to push for peace on Latin America’s borders or, while on his U.S. tour, to prod immigrants to get politically involved in this year of elections and immigration crackdowns.”*
