Annotation
Hip-hop artist, based in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia, born 20 September 1984, also known as Gambeta. The song "Buenos días Vietnam" (JM World Music) kicks-off with a sound-clip of Robin Williams from the film Good Morning, Vietnam, doing the famous introduction to his radio broadcast, set during the Vietnam War: "Good morning, Vietnam! They're out there, special song goin' out to you". The song compares contemporary Colombia with the Vietnam War, noting "in this jungle fear keeps us alive, now... freedom is nothing if you are safer being locked up". The song ended with a quote from the Johnnie Wright song "Hello Vietnam", featured in the film Full Metal Jacket: "Kiss me, goodbye and write me while I'm gone, goodbye my sweetheart, hello Vietnam".
