About
Antifa Son is a Milwaukee-based musical and community organizing project led by artist Beto J. Rivera. The project utilizes traditional Son Jarocho music—a folk style from Veracruz, Mexico—as a tool for anti-fascist activism, cultural resistance, and community building. Antifa Son frequently collaborates with members of the Mexican collective Colectivo Altepee, most notably Gema Ricalde, to host community fandangos and performances that blend traditional string instruments like the jarana with radical politics. The group is a fixture in Milwaukee's underground and activist scenes, often performing at venues in the Riverwest neighborhood and participating in cross-border cultural exchanges.
