Campesino is a
Spanish
language term referring to a
farmer or
farmworker. A possible

peasant, with connotations of subsistence or
simple farming that aims to survive rather than generate a profit.
In the
Spanish-speaking world, many
people referred to as
campesinos survive using
subsistence farming, as in other parts
of the world.

guajiro, which is American Spanish
for "rustic," is a synonym for campesino in Cuba
, where it is
also related to Guajira
music.
