description: Music. Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. CD format. Available for the first time from SPD. Camille T. Taiara of the San Francisco Bay Guardian describes this CD as a postmodern Last Poets meet P'rez-Prado, a Thelonius Monk meets Coco Fusco and Lenny Bruce. Los Delicados embrace contradiction ... By throwing together words and references that people don't normally encounter in the same context, they break down dominant conceptions and force their audience to think for themselves -- to participate in the lo-cura by forming their own associations and drawing their own conclusions. Theirs is a communal poetics. They combine the subversive power of music, theater, and poetry into a new genre. And -- as true sons and daughters of the movimiento of the 60s and 70s -- they have selected this genre as their weapon of choice in a struggle to popularize underrepresented voices and challenge ideological structures.
