Singernetza released a studio version of that same song last month, claiming it was banned from Dodgers Stadium for singing Spanish renditions of the national anthem.
The 30-year-old singer, Vanessa Hernandez, was scheduled to perform the national anthem at a Dodgers match on June 14th, making headlines.
During the immigrant raid, Neza sang the national anthem in Spanish to express solidarity with the Latino community. Shortly afterwards, she took to Tiktok that Dodgers employees had told her and her team that she was not welcomed again at the stadium.
Since then, the Dodgers have issued a statement claiming that they have “no results or harsh feelings about her performance.”
On Wednesday, the artist announced that “Erpendon Estrellado” was now available online.
100% of the proceeds from the song will be donated to various organizations.
Fifty percent will go to several immigration rights groups, while the other half will go to a place called Home, a nonprofit youth and community center in southern LA.
On Instagram, Neza dedicated her performance to Clotilde Arias, who gave her life, to Y Para Mi Gente Latina, who always had a song worth singing.
“Erpendon Estrellado” is a rendition that dates back to the 1940s, when the US government sought a translation that reflected the value of a starry banner.
Peruvian American composer and lyricist Clotilde Arias was commissioned by the Roosevelt administration in 1945 to create songs that were appealing in their voices, sticking to the original message.
This rendition is now available on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube for the first time in history.
The cover of this song features Clotilde Arias as a homage to the woman behind the only official Spanish version of the US national anthem.
