Carlos Mejía Godoy y los de Palacagüina

Carlos Mejía Godoy y los de Palacagüina are Nicaraguan folk legends who’ve soundtracked their nation’s cultural heartbeat since the 1970s. Named after the rural town of Palacagüina, the group blends traditional sounds like marimba and guitar with sharp, poetic storytelling. Carlos, a cornerstone of Nicaragua’s Nueva Canción movement, became famous for songs that championed social justice and celebrated everyday life, often infused with humor and political wit. His anthems, like the iconic "Son Tus Perjúmenes Mujer," mix romance and satire, while albums like *Aromas de Libertad* and *Tributo a Nicaragua Nicaraguita* pay homage to Nicaraguan identity and resilience. Live recordings like *En Concierto - La Buena Nota (2000)* capture their spirited stage presence, proving their music remains a unifying force decades later. A cultural treasure, their work bridges protest, pride, and party—always with roots dug deep into Central American soil.
