L.A. based Ozomatli, the Grammy-award winning multicultural band, partnered with National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States—works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans, to leverage the release of their bilingual song, “Respeto” and promote the need for Latinos to participate in this year’s midterms:
“The simple act of voting has proven to be an important tool in the shaping of my surroundings,” said Ozomatli’s Raul Pacheco. “As a modern American Latino, it is a meaningful step to counter the specifically hateful and hurtful rhetoric that has been aimed at Latinos throughout this country.” Pacheco adds, “Voting demonstrates self-respect. It is the dream of many that all who are eligible to vote do so on November 2. Vote for your family, vote for Respect!
