ABOUT THE ARTISTS

El Vuh - Like Public Enemy before them, El Vuh uses hip-hop to move minds as well as bodies. Unleashing a blistering attack against the two-headed beast of ignorance and bigotry, they reminds us that, among other things, Xicanos were here long before LA was home to Hollywood or Arizona was patrolled by minutemen. Along the way, they also challenge us to live up to our responsibilities to family and community.

Cihuatl-Ce (Xela, formerly of Cihuatl Tonali) - Once a runaway now a youth advocate/outreach worker. Her passion for social change is felt within the energy and urgency of her lyrics using music to reach the people specifically inner city, ghetto youth. Xela brings it raw, uncensored and unstoppable. Educating while empowering & uplifting, fusing hip hop with indigenous sounds in an effort to share some of the ancient teachings that remain after 515 years of colonization so that they may continue to be passed on, never to be forgotten.

Tolteka - MC/Poet/Producer and multilingual conscious spitter, Tolteka uses his raw toned delivery to share ancestral knowledge as well as addressing current global struggles. Bringing highly refreshing, progressive, enlightening and healing rhymes to the people he also walks his talk, as an active participant in community & indigenous struggles. Look for his debut CD "Reflexiones en Yangna Califaztlan" dropping in Oct. 2007.

Olmeca's music contains a focused and undaunted political and cultural message. Because of this, Olmeca has gained popularity amongst activist circles and popular movements of resistance who have sought Olmeca to present their struggle through his music. From Project Blowed in L.A. to Chiapas, Olmeca's unique lyrical style & bilingual rapping skills have landed him performances with Hip Hop's top names and Latin Alternative's most respected musicians.

In Lak Ech - the peformance poetry collective composed of all Xicana multi-media artists, writers, mothers, teachers, and organizers unite to tell her-story through poetry & song: in xochitl, in cuicatl. Their words & songs bring awareness & empo werment to the issues of women, family, humanity, and mother earth.
Celebrating the release of their new CD "Mujeres Con Palabra" available at all your local shops.
