Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The backbone of this Afro-Colombian trio's music is hip-hop, but the beats have a thrilling elasticity so often lacking in the genre.

And despite the potential language barrier of most of the absurdly catchy songs being in Spanish, this debut album's vibrant mix of ragga, funk and various Colombian and Latin roots styles makes it one of the most immediately appealing chunks of crossover hip-hop since The Score: Refugee Camp by the Fugees. Sexy, tough and compellingly bouncy.
