1837 generation
The 1837 generation (Spanish: Generación del '37) was an Argentine literary group. Influenced by the new romantic ideas, they rejected the cultural Spanish heritage of the country. They considered themselves the "sons of the May Revolution", as they were born shortly after it, and wrote some of the earliest Argentine literary works. They did not acknowledge any national roots in the indigenous peoples or the period of European colonization, focusing instead on the Revolution as the birth of the country.
The group established a literary hall in 1837, hence the name. Initially, they claimed to be neutral in the Argentine Civil Wars, but in time they wrote works biased against the federal governor Juan Manuel de Rosas (such as El Matadero by Esteban Echeverría or Facundo by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento) and became fully Unitarians.
Some notable members of this generation were Esteban Echeverría, Juan Bautista Alberdi, Miguel Cané, Bartolomé Mitre, Andrés Lamas, Antonio Somellera, Vicente Fidel López, Carlos Tejedor, Juan Bautista Peña, Florencio Varela, Juan Cruz Varela, José Mármol, José Rivera Indarte (Buenos Aires), Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Quiroga Rosas, Antonino Aberastain, Santiago Cortínez (San Juan), Benjamín Villafañe, Félix Frías (Tucumán), Francisco Álvarez, Paulino Paz, Enrique Rodríguez, Avelino Ferreyra, Ramón Ferreyra (Córdoba), Juan Thompson (Corrientes).

Generation
by: Ziggy MarleyMany generations have passed away
Fighting for the same cause, we fight for today
Now some people say, "When will it happen?"
And that's what they say
Now let us tell them something
My generation will make the change
When Hafe bring it come
This generation will make the change
How could I dream, that this will go on?
For more many years, until a kid become a man
Fighting for freedom, oh it's a deadly thing
And trying to get away from reality
Is dangerous
My generation will make the change
Sing along
This generation will make the change
Some man lose faith, too long ina the struggle
Oh no we can't lose faith, we born ina the struggle
Like they say we were born in sin, well
Young blood ina the struggle
Yes my blood is fresh, ooh
Young blood ina the struggle
Young blood ina the struggle
Young blood ina the struggle, uh
Young blood ina the struggle
Young blood ina the struggle
Now is the time
No more talk and play
Wake up lazy mind
Aye, no sleep for you today
Now youth responsible
A when all else have failed
And there will be no more
Blaming someone else
My generation will make the change
I'm so glad to see
This generation will make the change
Hard as it may be
My generation will make the change
This ain't no talk no cheap
This generation will make the change
This ain't no weep, no weep
My generation will make the change
(This generation, sin)
This generation will make the change
(I mean this generation, oh)
My generation will make the change
This generation will make the change
