Montana De Luz started as a hospice for children of Honduras suffering from HIV/AIDS. It now serves as an orphanage for children surviving with AIDS and HIV. In 2012 my wife joined a service trip to MDL and her life was changed.
I had heard that there was a lot of singing at MDL and so being a musician I hatched a scheme to record the children of MDL. With the help of long-term volunteer Jarrett Piette we produced these recordings over three days in 2013
lyrics
"Burrito Sabanero"
Con mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belen
Con mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belen
Si me ven si me ven
voy camino de Belen
El lucerito mañanero alumina mi sendero
El lucerito mañanero alumina mi sendero
Si me ven si me ven
voy camino de Belen
Con mi cuatrico voy cantando, mi burrito va trotando
Con mi cuatrico voy cantando, mi burrito va trotando
Si me ven si me ven
voy camino de Belen
tuki tuki tukituki
tuki tuki tukita
apurate mi burrito que ya vamos a llegar
tuki tuki tukituki
tuki tuki tukitu
apurate mi burrito vamos a ver a Jesus
Con mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belen
Con mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belen
Si me ven si me ven
voy camino de Belen
El lucerito mañanero alumina mi sendero
El lucerito mañanero alumina mi sendero
Si me ven si me ven
voy camino de Belen
Con mi cuatrico voy cantando, mi burrito va trotando
Con mi cuatrico voy cantando, mi burrito va trotando
Si me ven si me ven
voy camino de Belen
tuki tuki tukituki
tuki tuki tukita
apurate mi burrito que ya vamos a llegar
tuki tuki tukituki

apurate mi burrito vamos a ver a Jesus
Con mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belen
Con mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belen
Si me ven si me ven
voy camino de Belen
Si me ven Si me ven voy camino de Belen.....
