Last Friday we had a record release party for an immigration CD that addresses the need for immigration reform, the DREAM Act, and getting out the Mexican-American / Latino vote. The CD link will be made available soon for people to buy it online. Arizona State Representative Martin Quezada delivered a great message to the youth, college students and art enthusiasts at the downtown First Friday art walk.
A portion of our CD sales will go to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students since they have to approximately $575.00 for documentation fees + attorney fees, and the other portion of our CD sales will go to Mexican-American artists who helped contribute their talents to this important message.
We believe in communicating through art and music. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once penned: “Music is the universal language of mankind — poetry their universal pastime and delight.” Our goal is to communicate through music with regard to the humanitarian aspect of immigration. Mexicans and other immigrants are not asking for a handout – they are seeking earned legal immigration reform. Chicanos and American citizens are here to push the American Dream, and we know that when our Nation continues to be a Beacon and a light to the Globe – blessings come our way.
