NOPALUCAN DE LA GRANJA, Mexico (Reuters) - Chris Martin, vocalist for the music sensation Coldplay, nearly stepped on a rattlesnake as he strolled through a cornfield in Mexico Saturday.
Martin, Coldplay guitarist Jonny Buckland, drummer Will Champion and base player Guy Berryman took a day out of their mini Latin America tour to visit farmers in Mexico who say free trade and competition with developed nations is killing them.
The band is in Mexico to play two concerts and push the "Make Trade Fair" campaign, spearheaded by the British Charity Oxfam, ahead of meetings next week by World Trade Organization countries in the resort town of Cancun.
Farmers in developing nations like Mexico say they cannot compete with the multimillion dollar subsidies afforded to their counterparts in developed countries, particularly in the United States.
"See, I couldn't work here just because of that," Martin told peasant farmers, his eyes on the baby rattlesnake at his feet on a corn growing cooperative in Puebla state, about 90 miles south of Mexico City.
"You have to deal with foreign imports coming in and then there's the snakes."
