The pioneering Latinx visual and performing artists, Yara Travieso & Guadalupe Maravilla, will co-host a major fundraiser as part of the annual BORIMIX Festival to support New York’s newly arrived asylum seekers at The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center this Friday, November 18th at 8pm. The cultural field is providing a response to the political and social crisis brought on by Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to bus asylum seekers from the border to New York City. A panoply of musicians and performers will offer their star-power to attract audiences and raise funds in solidarity with the asylum seekers. These include Venezuelan Grammy award winner DJ "Cheo" Pardo from Los Amigos Invisibles, the earth shattering voice of Carolina Oliveros of Combo Chimbita, the Caribbean powerhouse Xenia Rubinos, the Joropo queen Mafer Bandola of LADAMA, & the all-female salsa group Lulada Club, sponsored by the local Puerto Rican establishment, Que Chevere.
