Carlos Mejía Godoy

[1] He had a close friendship with the guitarist of the Camerata Bach and Los de Palacagüina, Pedro Miranda, and with the Nicaraguan musician Silvio Linarte.

He actively participated in the Sandinista Revolution, composing a good part of the songs associated with it and spreading the cause of the fight against the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza Debayle throughout the world.

He was the son of Carlos Mejía Fajardo, a popular musician, and María Elsa Godoy, a school teacher and bread maker.

[1] In 1954, he left his hometown and continued his elementary and high school studies until starting university in the 1960s, where he began to collaborate as a radio host, actor, and script writer.

At the end of the 1960s, incorporated into Radio Corporación de Managua, he created the character "Corporito", which, as he himself admits, allowed him to discover himself as a communicator, as he described it in 1993: He sang a parody every day, changing the lyrics to well-known songs and adapting it to some political and social problem.After the 1972 earthquake, he founded the "Taller de Sonido Popular" together with Humberto Quintanilla, Milcíades Poveda Herrera, Enrique Duarte, Silvio Linarte and Pablo Martínez Téllez (El Guadalupano) and joined the group "Gradas".

Many of his songs during the late 1970s gave instructions on how to use, assemble, and disassemble the rifles people were capturing from dictator Somoza's National Guard during street battles.

[15] Some of his albums include: El Son Nuestro De Cada Día, La Nueva Milpa, Grandes Éxitos, and A Dos Puyas, No Hay Toro Valiente.

Mejía Godoy was featured on the title track from La Cuneta Son Machín's Cañambuco (2017, Round Whirled Records).
