Making of "Si Se Puede Cambiar" Music Video -- and how to download (EricByler - 2/22/2008 11:45:28 PM)
We were in Las Vegas when we began posting videos to our United For Obama YouTube channel. Soon after, we received electronic messages from artist/musician Andres Useche and from music video director/editor Warren Fu. Annabel was very enthusiastic about both contacts and encouraged me to work with them. In Los Angeles, a few days before Super Tuesday, there was a rally at UCLA, and Oiyan Poon introduced me to Andres. We filmed videos with Andres and Oiyan and others, including actresses Tatyana Ali and Kerry Washington. The next day, I called Andres to invite him to canvas with us in an area where there were many Spanish speakers. Andres turned out to be awesome at voter persuasion, and we had a great time doing it. At some point, Andres mentioned he was thinking of writing a song. Later that day, I was at his apartment when he picked up a guitar and started composing. He would stop once in a while to help me translate stuff from English to Spanish as part of our Latino outreach. I liked the tune of the song but I didn't fully understand the words at this point.
