Free Soul - Chiras

Chiras from Free Soul (25)(Yan Carlos Guerra Martinez) is a rapper from Antioquia that has lived in Bogotá for many years. He used to live in a neighbourhood called 'La L', where tough circumstances made a positive future very difficult. However, his musical talent has given him a chance to turn things around achieve a future of creativity and prosperity. His lyrics put into words experiences that are hard to describe. His work is an inspiration for many, showing us how bad circumstances don't define us, don't determine our future, and don't have to keep us from rising to the top.
