“Nuestro Himno”: Musical patriotism and solidarity

Latino performers have banded together in solidarity with immigrants to record a new version of the national anthem. I’m sure this is likely to piss off quite a few conservatives, but the message is clear: the flag, the anthem and other symbols of patriotism belong to all of us, no matter where we came from:
The Latino-oriented record label Urban Box Office (UBO) said Friday it will put the new Spanish-English version of the U.S. national anthem on the market Monday to coincide with the U.S. Senate’s restarting debate on immigration legislation.“We decided to re-record ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ to show our solidarity with the undocumented migrants,” said UBO President Adam Kidron. “Today we are Americans and ‘The-Star Spangled Banner’ represents everything to us.”
The recording features performances by Gloria Trevi, Don Omar and Ivy Queen.

Robert DeNiro’s downtown NYC film festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, is in full swing in this, its 6th year. The festival, featuring the best in new film from all over the globe, would be incomplete, especially in NYC, if it didn’t feature the Latina experience. Rican actress and director Rosie Perez has her first documentary film featured at the festival, Yo Soy Boricua, Pa’Que Tu lo Sepas, which looks at the history of Ricans, including her own familia. The feature length documentary is showing April 28th through May 7th at theatres throughout the city.
