Communion, real name Álvaro Vega, is a Latino Christian rapper and former seminarian. He first gained viral notoriety in the mid-to-late 2000s under the stage name "The Cacaman", where he made parodies of rap and R&B music with a rather irreverent and scatological slant, though one of his songs, "Ain't Got Much of a Smile", was a more serious glimpse on his troubled background and depression.
