The Lion of the Senate, and Now a Knight Kennedy remembered, Mexican "Corrido "El Leon Del Senado"

Kennedy remembered, Mexican "Corrido
"Corridos" are part of the culture and music of Mexico. Stories, chronicles told by way of a song. And as Latinos and the Mexican community remember Edward Kennedy, a group in Los Angeles has written a song to honor "El Leon Del Senado"

Juan Carlos Sanchez Selis, known as "Sinaloa21 and his Banda La Mescla Perfecta" composed the song remembering Kennedy.

The songs talks about Kennedy's fight for minorities, the poor and immigration reform.

"Y es que 'El Sinaloa 21' es el cronista de los acontecimientos que nos afectan a la gente sin importar barreras de nacionalidades o idiomáticas y su público lo sabe muy bien"

"Sinaloa 21" chronicles events that affect people regardless of borders, nationality or language, said the singer born in Guadalajara in recent interview.

Edward Moore Kennedy, forever known to the world as Teddy, the unsteady heir of two martyred brothers who matured into a liberal titan of the Senate, a politician who embarrassingly failed in his quest for the presidency but left behind a 46-year legislative record that presidents might envy, died early Wednesday morning of brain cancer at age 77. The last of his kind not a cliché but an accurate description of the Massachusetts senator's legacy Kennedy was the personification of an old-school Senate tradition in which fierce ideological adversaries could work across party lines to craft lasting legislative compromises.

Kennedy's life and career were marked by misadventure and tragedy. Ridiculed as unready and revealed to have withdrawn from Harvard in a cheating scandal when he was vaulted into his older brother's Senate seat in the 1962 elections, Edward Kennedy was sworn in to office as Massachusetts's junior senator just 11 months before John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. Flying back to Boston in the fog to address a party dinner after casting a vote for final passage of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act, Teddy Kennedy almost died in a private plane crash that kept him bedridden with back injuries for months. A year after his brother Robert was shot and killed just after winning the 1968 California primary, Kennedy drove his car off a bridge when leaving a beach party on Martha's Vineyard killing Mary Jo Kopechne, a political staffer, who was in the back seat. That tragedy and, in the minds of many, the ensuing cover-up -- were forever known by the place name Chappaquiddick. In early 1971, because of Chappaquiddick, Kennedy seemingly permanently lost his footing on the legislative ladder when Robert Byrd defeated him for reelection as Senate Majority Whip.
