Portrait of an Artist: Martin Crudo ... ¿Y Qué?

In Episode 2 of Metropolis Rising, our guest is Latinx artist Martin Sorrondeguy (also known as Martin Crudo). Martin is best known as the founder, lead singer, and lyricist of the Latinx hardcore punk bank, Los Crudos, who quickly came to have an impact around the world. The lyrics of the band’s songs spoke politically to the Latinx experience in the United States but also responded to popular struggles across Latin America. The band originated in the 1990s in the Pilsen neighborhood, the center of the political and cultural life of Chicago’s Mexican community, where Martin grew up. Later, Sorrondeguy moved on to other musical projects, including the queercore punk band, Limp Wrist, and most recently a solo electronic dance music project called NRRRV. Martin is also an accomplished photographer.
