She has been in workshops under the direction of jazz legends, Marshall Allen and Tyrone Davis of Philly's Sun Ra Arkestra as well as a student of master Indigenous percussionists, Isaac Brosegui and Patricia Alcala of Grupo Huehuetl from Guadalajara, Mexico. She will be featured in Bob Bryans' Hip Hop "Graffitti Verite" Series on femcees.
Jehuniko of Los Angeles, California released his solo debut "La Pura Vida" on U.N.eYe / Dead Silence Records in 2006. After being featured multiple times on Mun2, LATV, SiTV, Urban Latino, and National TV in Costa Rica , Jehuniko finally launched his own official video for "El Animal Humano", off of "La Pura Vida". Aside from National promotion, Jehuniko has headlined festivals in Costa Rica and Mexico. In May of 2006, Jehuniko and Binx went to Costa Rica again, this time to film the video to "Time Traveler", Jehuniko's second single off of La Pura Vida.
Ikuestion of Mexico City, Mexico
"Two-tongue terror, metaphor sword swinga", accurately self describes a ferocious emcee by the name of Ikuestion. Socially conscious, tongue twisting raps in Spanglish capture any first time listener. This young emcee and his family migrated to southern California at an early age. His first musical influence came from his father, who played in a Nortena band on the weekends. First introduced to hip hop via graffiti in his early teens, it wasnt long before he was freestyling and eventually doing open mics and spoken word. His rhymes speak of struggle, hope, and determination. This hard working emcee is currently in the process of writing, co-producing and recording three projects, including his highly anticipated solo album "Dangerous Spanglish".

Indigenous Peoples Message to the U.S. antiwar movement
We call on the U.S. antiwar movement to acknowledge that the very establishment of the United States and it's expansion was built on the genocide against the First Nations/Indigenous Peoples of the continent, along with the enslavement of African peoples.
Iraq (and the over 170 countries that have a presence of U.S. military) is just a continuation of "Manifest Destiny" which cleared the continent for settler colonization. Thus it's not a "mistake" of U.S. policy, but is at the core of the very foundation of the U.S. from it's beginnings continuing thru to today.
Thus, we say that the antiwar mobilizations that are taking place in Autumn 2007 (Sept 15, Sept 29, Oct 27 et. al) should/must
1)have an indigenous person opening the events ackowledging the above history and it's continuation into the present day and how U.S. history is linked to today's war(s).
2)that there be an organized and visible collective presence of contingents focused on indigenous peoples concerns at the mobilizations along with that presence being also on the websites, press releases, media spokespeople, et. al of these groups/mobilizations.
3)that the indigenous names of cities/towns in the various indigenous languages be acknowledged by also being mentioned to remind people of the indigenous origins of this land (for example "Manatay" for what is now called Manhattan ) along with the peoples (for example: Lenape (& others)) and the original languages.

“WE DEMAND AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM THAT EMPOWERS US, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN DIS-EMPOWERED – WE DEMAND PROGRAMS WHICH
ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS WITHIN OUR COMUNIDADES, BECAUSE AN EDUCATION MUST ADDRESS THE CONTRADICTIONS PLAGUING US AS RAZA - OUR HISTORY MUST BE LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOMS, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT PILGRIMS AND DID NOT CROSS THE ATLANTIC ON THE MAYFLOWER………….”

1. Realize there is a lot more going on than is being revealed on TV.
2.Realize that the powers that be are trying to control you through the use of lies, fear, hate, desire, temptation, apathy, helplessness, laziness, greed, gossip, distraction, and ego stroking. Master your own mind and inner peace and they are impotent.
3.Realize that you are an immortal soul with godlike powers. You are more than you appear to be.
4.Realize life is a dream, and that we are creating the conditions of this reality.
5.Realize that which has been falsified. There are no gospel truths.
6.Realize that there are invisible hands at work. You may call them spirits, angels, demons... but they are there.
7.Realize that all things are one. All opposites are the same.
8.Realize that the battlefield is the mind. All actions, all causes and effects originate in the mind. Do not give them your mind. Do not let them tell you what is truth. Truth is different and the same for all.
9.Realize that a thing is a belief because it is not known. If you know a thing, then it is knowledge. If you don't know a thing, then it is belief. To drop all beliefs is to gain all knowledge.
