The Welfare Poets: They Killed Filiberto Live at NYU Nov 30 2009

"They Killed Filiberto" is off the Hip Hop compilation/fundraiser we produced against the death penalty, "Cruel and Unusual Punishment."

Filiberto Ojeda Rios was a Puerto Rican Freedom Fighter who was assassinated by the FBI at the age of 72. Filiberto was killed on September 23rd 2005, the anniversary of El Grito De Lares, the anniversary of a uprising in Puerto Rico in 1868 to end Spanish colonialism and to abolish slavery -- a symbolic day for all yearning independence.

The Welfare Poets were upgraded this day. Holding us down tonight was Yelimara Concepcion dancing like the wind like she do and on coro; the butters butters Denise De La Cruz performing 2 of her own amazing reggae songs and taking part in the illest sounding background choruses you ever heard; Lillian Marrero - if you never heard her sing you must be sleeping and have missed something truly special (really); and the 2 dope Delilah Lady Delish Tollinchi and her sultry voice. Yo it was crazy. It was such an honor and pleasure. Taking this group as far with us they can possibly go. Shouts to Mat on bass and Dillon on keys and the core W P members who are nothing but phenomenal - The Legend, Angel (rips the chekere), Dahu, John, Tony and Rayzer
