Liberate Yourself with Baqvas

So much is happening, the announcement of DACA's repeal, hurricanes, earthquakes, and continued political bs. This show features a lot of angry music made by a lot of musicians in the diaspora and beyond, some of whom are queer, some of whom are mixed race: Afghan American, French/Italian, Filipino/Palestinian American, Asian American, Mexican American, Japanese American, Iranian American, African American. Stick around till the end for a truly liberating track.
