Ozomatli, Christian Castro, & Pee Wee Join Voces Unidas Concert

By Simone Hilliard

Ozomatli, Christian Castro, and Pee Wee are the first of many confirmed performers protesting Arizona's SB 1070 legislation who will participate in the Voces Unidas por America Concert, taking place July 17.

The concert, organized by the Albuquerque based League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), will help raise awareness about the Arizona law by featuring top Latin recording artists presenting a united front against unjust immigration laws.

LULAC President, Rosa Rosales released this statement:

“The incredible talent will join together in echoing the sentiment and passion of the Latino community against the proposed law. Arizona has given Latinos an opportunity to stand up; an urgency and a sense of purpose to unite through song as Americans voice their concerns with this unique musical event.”

The organization has joined forces with TV and music producer David Chavez and LatinPointe to use music as a unifying theme in rallying support from the Latin entertainment, political and sports world. The passion and the energy of Latino community across the country will be channeled into this unique event.

More performers, public figures, and athletes are expected to step up in the coming weeks, and Blogamole will keep you posted as the talent roster grows.
