Padre Botod (works best for Propagandists or Nationalism)

When Graciano Lopez Jaena wrote Padre Botod, who would have thought that the Jerks would turn it to a reggae inspired piece? ;) This musical piece is not just good for motiovation but can be used to discuss the period when the Propagandistas where writing here and there to effect change in the country. It would be good to have a copy of the original Padre Botod (excerpts at least) by Jaena and compare it to the song. To add more content to your lesson look at what concrete concepts the song is exposing (ie, polo, hacienda, etc). Now where would you get that rare The Jerks piece?
