Tragic, I know, but I have only become aware of HFTRR for about a month now. Musically, vocally, lyrically, and now, thanks to this interview, intellectually it's become clear that Alynda Segarra is eloquently, positively, genius. She's an American treasure that's all the more valuable for her hopeful and poetic critique of America.
