Abstract
Music has been an important terrain of cultural politics for many minorities and indigenous people, a means of unmasking power imbalances, denouncing injustice, and reframing identities. This paper explores the political imaginary of the Basque radical rock music group Negu Gorriak and the ways they articulated alliances with politicized hip hop. (Prepublication version, no photos)
