LOCAL MOTION
(LA MACHETERA)
WALL JUKEBOX WITH 50 CDS
Dimensions Variable
2006

 

This jukebox is a musical self-portrait. CDs are arranged chronologically and geographically, including all the cities I have lived in and some that I have visited since 1995. The selection of music is varied, including rhythms from all over the world. The CD’s gather the music I was listening at that time. Two red machetes accompany it; they are symbols of the only Puerto Rican Guerrilla “Los Macheteros.”
