Brujería - Raza Odiada (1995)

Formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989, the band name derives from the black magic used by some Mexican drug dealers to inspire fear in religious locals.

Raza Odiada (which translates in English as "Hated Race") is a song critical of Pete Wilson and his opposition to illegal immigration and to racial preferences. The song features ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra as the voice of Pete Wilson. "La Migra" is a song about illegal immigration and corruption. "Revolución" is a pro-Zapatista song. A music video was released for the song "La Ley De Plomo", which received rotation on MTV.
It features three tracks originally appearing on the 7" singles El Patrón ("El Patrón" and "Hermanos Menéndez"), and ¡Machetazos! ("Padre Nuestro") on Alternative Tentacles. The cover features a photograph of Subcomandante Marcos, then-spokesperson and one of the leaders of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
