人兽性交

NEW YORK, Friday, February 22, 2019 鈥� The Southern Poverty Law Center (人兽性交) and the Latin GRAMMY-winning band Flor De Toloache have launched a song 鈥� hitting airwaves today 鈥� that aims to help prevent human rights abuses by conveying important information about the rights immigrants can exercise when interacting with law enforcement and immigration authorities.

The single 鈥淓l corrido de David y Goliat鈥� out now on Chulo Records, is the first release of the Immigrant Songs Initiative. It is available on all digital streaming platforms and for sale on iTunes today. You can listen on Spotify . The video is available on the .

The song is a corrido, a popular narrative music genre about oppression, the daily life of peasants, and other socially relevant topics. Many corrido stories relate to the lives of people living near the border, who deal with fear and abuse on an everyday basis. One of the goals of this project is to reach people who may not have access to modern media where legal information is commonly dispersed 鈥� which is why the song is being played on broadcast radio, with distribution tailored to specifically focus on regions with high immigrant populations.

鈥淜nowledge is power 鈥� the power to remain free and safe,鈥� said Mary Bauer, director of the 人兽性交鈥檚 Immigrant Justice Project. 鈥淭his incredible song by Flor de Toloache has the potential to empower a lot of immigrants in a creative way. We鈥檝e seen too many cases where immigration officials have illegally and unfairly apprehended immigrants, disregarding their basic human rights. The more people know about their rights, the better.鈥�

The effort includes a video 鈥� 鈥� to share the broader message of the Immigrant Songs Project. It provides further understanding of the legal abuse suffered by many immigrants and refugees across the border. The video is live on the 人兽性交 website and will be distributed to news and media channels.

New York-based Flor De Toloache band members hail from countries as varied as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Italy, and the United States. At the 18th Latin GRAMMY Awards in 2017, they took home their first career Latin GRAMMY win for Best Ranchero / Mariachi Album for Las Caras Lindas. They previously earned a 2015 Latin GRAMMY nomination for Best Ranchero Album for their self-titled album.听

This song release comes a day after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Immigration Law Center, and the law firm of Sherrard, Roe, Voigt & Harbison filed a lawsuit on behalf of workers detained during an April 2018 immigration raid at an East Tennessee meat processing plant. During the raid the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained approximately 100 Latino workers, violating their rights against illegal seizures and to equal protection under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.听听

English language lyric translation
A gringo called Goliat,
O鈥機onner was his last name,
he hurt a lot to the people.
Supposedly he was a law enforcer,
he only enlisted in Immigration
so he could deport you.

He knew the poor/humble people
know nothing about laws,
that鈥檚 why he was so abusive
catching alleged illegals,
that were actually not,
allied with other Federals.
听
One day there was a big raid
in a Latino neighborhood.
Goliat and all his troops
arrived shouting
for everyone to get out
to deport them all.

In one of many houses
David and his family lived.
But he was aware of the law
so he didn鈥檛 go outside.
- Without a search warrant,
officer you should move along.

Goliat was furious.
Knocked the door down with a blow.
He demanded papers from everyone,
- Everybody must respect me.-听
David didn鈥檛 comply,
-You entered here by force. -

David, his wife and three sons,
were all taken away.
Keeping calm
they signed no papers.
They didn鈥檛 answer questions
even when they were threatened.

David was prepared
in case this happened one day.
He had planned with his people.
His papers he kept听
in a safe place.
The community was helping him.

They were all released,
the arrest was illegal.
Lawyers helped him
and the process stopped.
David knew the laws
and Goliat was fired.
