… spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes…

Isaiah 54:2

High stakes are rapidly being pulled due to the current administration.
Cultural stakeholders in music and the arts find themselves stranded in the proverbial Florentine steakhouse without a steak-knife. Mistaken codexes may see Aztec options traded for Ozzfest action very soon, exchanging obsidian blades for mixed Mixtec motives.

Missing appropriate terms, cultural brokerage firms get woke!
Inappropriate cultural  appropriations delay reparations for needy nations. Dada knows best how to transform prima-donna monody into payouts to the marginalized periphery while enjoying the polyrhythmic algorithms of an exiled Afro-Aztec diaspora.

Patience, choir. Payouts to Azania-Aztlan are in the mail. Ease up on the basso bufo.

If you repaired recipients STILL complain, you may be sent on a tropical triptych or get dipped in a topical diptych until you artistically own your own commodified appreciation. Upon final evaluation, artistic values must be and shall be revaluated until named parties come to realize that this is ALL Donald Trump’s fault so FREE PALESTINE !

¡VIVA AZTLAN/AZANIA!
