MALDEF to Receive Proceeds from Ry Cooder’s New Single
LOS ANGELES, CA – Ry Cooder created his new single “Quicksand” in response to anti-immigrant law SB 1070 and the ongoing Arizona immigration battle. SB 1070 requires police to demand ‘papers’ from people they stop who they suspect are “unlawfully present” in the U.S. As described by Cooder, “Quicksand” is a slow-burning rocker that tells the story of six would-be immigrants making their way from Mexico to the Arizona border. Today, Ry Cooder’s “Quicksand” went on sale exclusively on iTunes, and Cooder has pledged to donate all proceeds from the song to MALDEF.
