Posted 03:08 PM, Aug 9 2007
Hoodioscd ¡Oye! Hip Hop Hoodíos has just released the "Viva la Guantanamera EP," a special digital-only album benefiting Amnesty International. The new song "Viva la Guantanamera" is an allstar collaboration with members of two Grammy-winning artists (Ozomatli & The Klezmatics), and also features contributions from Kemo The Blaxican (of Latin hip-hop pioneers Delinquent Habits), and Walter Miranda (Beastie Boys, Plastilina Mosh). Hip Hop Hoodíos are tying in with Amnesty International's campaign to close Guantanamo Bay Prison and encourage the full restoration of due process, and are donating 18% of net profits from digital sales of the "Viva la Guantanamera" single to Amnesty.
For this, we are proud to add Hip Hop Hoodios to our "Tune Your World" Campaign for playing a part for more justice and more peace in our turbulent world.
