Raza Odiada (English: Hated Race) is the second album by Brujeria. Brujeria's main concepts are Satanism, revolution, pro-immigration, narcotics / drug smuggling, and related themes.

Album information

Raza Odiada (which translates in English as "Hated Race") is a song critical of Pete Wilson and his opposition to illegal immigration and to racial preferences. The song features ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra as the voice of Pete Wilson. "La Migra" is a song about illegal immigration and corruption. "Revolución" is a pro-Zapatista Army of National Liberation song. A music video was released for the song "La Ley De Plomo", which received rotation on MTV.

It features three tracks originally appearing on the 7" singles El Patrón ("El Patrón" and "Hermanos Menéndez"), and ¡Machetazos! ("Padre Nuestro") on Alternative Tentacles Records. The cover features a photograph of Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, the spokesperson and one of the main leaders of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.

Reception

• NME (10/28/95, p. 56) - 8 (out of 10) - " . . . [a] nugget. . . . Brujeria are a Chicano hardcore band who sing in Spanish. Short and brutal, the assault begins with a scathing attack on California governor Pete Wilson's Proposition 187 - which stopped Mexican and South American immigrants in the state from receiving welfare, medical care and education . . .
