Joe Troop, the American musician behind Argentine band Che Apalache, has announced the release of his debut album titled “Borrowed Time.” The album features songs of protest and many well known guests such as Béla Fleck, Abigail Washburn, Tim O’Brien, Charlie Hunter, Rolando Revilla and more.
Troop is also an activist and political organizer. “I’m just cutting my teeth as an organizer,” Troop says, “but being in the presence of someone like my mentor Presidente Baldemar Velasquez of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee is an amazing honor and an opportunity to learn how to do this kind of work without demonizing the opposition, to leave an open door for dialogue.”
