Carlos Mejía Godoy

Carlos Mejía Godoy

, three years younger than him is also a musician, that although is not match to his older brother, has been able to become famous under his shadow.

He started his career as 'Corporito' on the radio station 'Radio Corporacion', where he would daily compose songs that would rain ridicule and scorn on all politicians and political parties. He would do it with that biting sense of humor that so few artists are able to master.

Many of his songs, performed with his band "los de Palacagüina", became associated with the Sandinista movement as songs of the workers and revolutionaries.

Some of his albums include: _es. "El Son Nuestro De Cada Día", _es. "La Nueva Milpa", _es. "Grandes Éxitos", and _es. "A Dos Puyas, No Hay Toro Valiente". His music has also been featured on several compilations of songs of Nicaragua and the Nicaraguan revolution: "Songs of the Nicaraguan Revolution, Vol.1-2", and "Nicaraguita: Music from Nicaragua".

He was the vice-presidential running mate of Edmundo Jarquín of the Sandinista Renovation Movement (MRS) in the November 2006 presidential election. They came in fourth place.

Mejía Godoy is also the father of the U.S. soldier and anti-war activist Camilo Mejía, who was imprisoned for not returning to duty after his request for conscientious objector status was denied. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20040412/parenti ¹]
