Beta Bodega

Beta Bodega (1999-2005) was an experimental electronic record label with a leftist political stance, based in Miami, Florida, USA. Founded in 1999 by designer and music enthusiast [a=La Mano Fria] to inform and address current matters in Latin America while bringing about awareness through design and music. The original label spawned through the time into three separate labels; Beta Bodega, [l=Rice And Beans] and [l=Botanica Del Jibaro], giving birth to Beta Bodega Coalition (BBC). Beta Bodega was deactivated in 2005, together with Rice And Beans (which became t-shirt line again in 2006) and its special series label [l=Rise And Defeat]. Nowadays, Beta Bodega Coalition operates two labels; [l=Botanica Del Jibaro] and [l=Arepaz], alongside with special project [l=Bandeja Paisa] and BBC chapters in Europe and Japan; [l=Project: Mooncircle] and [l=RL66].
