Hurray For The Riff Raff

Alynda Segarra's unamplifed voice in this Tiny Desk performance had no problem rising above the drums, congas, cello, violin, bass, keyboards, and an electric guitar. The passion for her Puerto Rican roots feels boundless. As Soul Captain for Hurray for the Riff Raff, she and her band weave tales of man's inhumanity to fellow humans, often from bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

But the spirit that arises out of her ancestral roots and its clash with twenty-first century cultural insensitiv...

only the second poet I’ve ever chosen
to speak to personally
                                        so why
aren’t you more attentive? If I could
burn you through the window I would

Here all day.”

 

                   “Sorry, Sun, I stayed
up late last night talking to Hal.”

 

“When I woke up Mayakovsky he was
a lot more prompt” the S...
