A Lighter Shade of Brown f/ Teardrop "Latin Active" LIVE TV + 1st Interviews with Gary Baca

A rare 1991 Live TV performance and interview with a young "Lighter Shade of Brown" preforming on "New World Music Video" TV show in San Francisco. The group debuted the CD "Brown & Proud," and stopped by while on a promotional tour.
A lot of people ask about "Teardrop" featured in this video. We believe soon after this taping she left the music business to spend more time with family. However, she did made a quick appearance during a rehearsal for a Lighter Shade of Brown concert. Here is a LINK: • Lighter Shade of Brown...

Both Republicans and Democrats are the same snake with two evil heads let me tell you why many people from all over the world go to the United States. The US government and its allies aka puppets invaded so many small countries 10 or more against 1 small country not bigger than Texas. The US government is a 2 face and the number 1 terrorist in the world. They only control, manipulate, destroy, divide, kill and steal resources from other countries. Russia is 1 of 2 countries that can blow up the world in less than 30 minutes. Iran, Belarus, Russia, China and North Korea are all allies. They all have nukes ..... The US government is actually using the name of the continent to its citizens and country. The United States is a country but America is not a country America is a continent of 35 countries in total. We are US citizens and citizens of the United States. The United States of America became a nation on the date of July 4th of 1776. The whole entire continent was already named America after Amerigo Vespucci in the year 1507. That's 269 years difference. Everyone in North America Central America South America the Americas the American continent is an American like Asia are Asians, Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans..... Europe has 50 countries, Asia has 48 countries, Africa has 54 countries, Oceania has 14 countries and America is not a country America is a continent of 35 countries in total.
