On the 35th anniversary of the founding of the EZLN, Marissa Johnson-Valenzuela released a "conceptual reggaeton" album that posits the U.S. and Mexico are essentially one country with a border that is used to justify a caste system. With point production from producer Josh Hey, Marissa brought together a range of sounds and live instruments, guest rappers (Dirty Corolla, Mayate del Sur and Kicio), singing and spoken word to make an accessible genre defiant full-length album. The entire 13-track album is available on vinyl and digital download. On Nov. 16th, Colorlines wrote a feature article on Marissa and the album. There are two music videos that go with this record.
