    Dario Guerrero and Sonia Espinosa were both illegal aliens at Harvard. Sonia studied social anthropology and economics, while Dario studied film. Both were unaware that they were illegal aliens until high school. Dario had recently been in the news for leaving the US with his mother to go to Mexico in a last-ditch effort to find a treatment for her terminal cancer. Unfortunately his mother passed away shortly after they arrived and Dario found himself stranded in Mexico. Because Dario is undocumented, he was unable to return to his home in the US and finish his last year at Harvard. In October 2014 he received the happy news that US Customs would be allowing him back into the country. He got back several days later, and as a way of coming back he and Sonia created CIELO, a song that celebrates his mother and underlines the experience of courage and sacrifice one must endure while being an illegal alien. 🚀Shout out to Dario’s Mama, R.I.P. 🌍 Immigrant Parents.
