Madi Diaz Transforms Blink-182’s Classic Into a Fundraising Powerhouse for Immigrants’ Rights
Singer-songwriter Madi Diaz, a 39-year-old Grammy nominee, has released a unique cover album titled 'Enema of the Garden State'. The album, a full track-by-track cover of Blink-182's 1999 album 'Enema of the State', was initially a fun project fueled by Diaz's love for the original. However, it has evolved into a powerful tool for raising awareness and funds for immigrants' rights in the United States.
Recorded in a New Jersey studio, the album bears the 'Garden State' moniker as a nod to its birthplace. Diaz, a child of Peruvian and Danish immigrants, wanted to use her platform to support causes close to her heart. All proceeds from the album, available on Bandcamp, will go to the Defending Our Neighbors Fund. This fund helps immigrants have fair access to legal assistance.
The album's original title, 'Enema of the State', resonated with Diaz and her producer. They found it fitting for the current political climate in the U.S. The cover album supports several organizations, including the ACLU, the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center, and the National Network to End Domestic Violence. Diaz has expressed her support for these organizations and her opposition to ICE's actions against immigrants.
Madi Diaz's 'Enema of the Garden State' is more than just a cover album. It's a statement of support for immigrants' rights and a call for fair access to legal assistance in the USA. By purchasing the album, fans can contribute to these important causes while enjoying Diaz's unique take on a classic album.
