about

Francisco and the Rhythmagics contributed "Blessed The Big One" to a compilation then titled America Fears The Drum and released in 1992 on the Irresistible Revolutionary label. Its 2016
version is for a retitled 2016 album of the same 'Extraordinarily internationalist' tracks with 'Haitian, Chinese, Filipino, Native American, Puerto Rican, Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, Jamaican and other heritages represented' (S F Bay Guardian). Hear the young voice like green shoots of Francisco Alarcon!
