Latinos Gain Exposure On New 'Occupy' Music Album

By Michael Lopez

Are you ready for #Occupy the album? Well it's coming and it's got an all-star musical cast behind it. Willie Nelson, Yoko Ono, Third Eye Blind and more are contributing tracks for the "99%" soundtrack, which will also feature a strong Latino presence.

Officially called Occupy This Album, the record will include a wide array of diverse tracks. And perhaps most importantly, all proceeds from its sale will go towards sustaining the #Occupy movement.

As we all know, Latinos made their voice heard during the recent #Occupy L.A. protests. And representing their message on the CD will be legendary Mexican-American singer Joan Baez and the Spanish folk group Los Cintron.

Still in the final recording stages, you can expect the #Occupy album to arrive in stores this spring. And we're sure you'll be able to hear it in several protest marches shortly thereafter.
