, three years younger than him is also a musician, that although is not match to his older brother, has been able to become famous under his shadow.

Sandinista movement as songs of the workers and revolutionaries.Some of his albums include: _es. "El Son Nuestro De Cada Día", _es. "La Nueva Milpa", _es. "Grandes Éxitos", and _es. "A Dos Puyas, No Hay Toro Valiente". His music has also been featured on several compilations of songs of Nicaragua and the
Nicaraguan revolution : "Songs of the Nicaraguan Revolution, Vol.1-2", and "Nicaraguita: Music from Nicaragua".He was the vice-presidential running mate of
Edmundo Jarquín of theSandinista Renovation Movement (MRS) in the November 2006 presidential election. They came in fourth place.Mejía Godoy is also the father of the U.S. soldier and
anti-war activistCamilo Mejía , who was imprisoned for not returning to duty after his request forconscientious objector status was denied. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20040412/parenti ¹]External links
