"LAL is a protest band representing Uganda, Bangladesh, Barbados and India. Our new record 'Deportation' will be coming out in May 2008. We hope you will support independent art and come out!
"The new record is called 'Deportation' and it was creatively triggered by 9/11 and it's affects, the deportation of Queen Nzinga [an artist and activist who was deported to Costa Rica on International Women's Day in
Toronto in 2004], and many others, Project Threadbare [a campaign to stop the deportation of 24 Pakistani men due to racist immigration and nationalsecurity measures], our experiences as migrant peoples, our
travels, andthose we've met along the way, our thoughts & spirits as individuals andcommunities. We are grateful for the opportunity to make music that speaks to issues of social justice."
