FARC guerrilla raps in jungle for peace
John Esteban Perez was 13 when he joined the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia rebels in Colombia. Now 26, he has spent half his life as a guerrilla.
But today, instead of hiding out in the jungle with his rifle, he has fellow rebels bouncing to his rhymes as he raps for peace.
"They say we're bad, we're rapists. That's all lies. We're working for peace, peace, peace in Colombia," he rapped Saturday night at the FARC's national conference, where the rebels are meeting to ratify a peace accord with the Colombian government.
