As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

Compton is a historically Black city known for its vibrant African American community — an image that prevailed through the ‘90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, folks from Compton will tell you that a celebration of regional Mexican music on the city streets is not surprising, as Compton has gone through major demographic changes in recent decades. In 1996, the year El Compa Negro was born, the Hispanic or Latino population was around 34 percent. Now, Compton is around 71 percent Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Rhyan Lavelle Lowery, who performs as El Compa Negro, is a regional Mexican artist, the musician isn’t personally of Mexican descent. Lowery learned Spanish at the Progress Baptist Church, where he also sang in choir and learned to play the organ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowery said the church played a big part in his childhood. During weekly services, the children were sent to the nursery where the late Pastor Waddell Hudson taught them the Spanish ABCs on a whiteboard. Of his siblings, Lowery said he was the one who became the most interested in learning Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He grew up in a mostly Black and Mexican neighborhood — on North Pearl and Peck Avenue — where he got many opportunities to practice his Spanish. When he was a teenager, his family moved an hour away to Perris, California, where they owned a few acres of land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of Mexicans…they would be partying, you know the jaripeos, charreadas\u003cem>,\u003c/em> like bailes, horses dancing and a banda\u003cem>,\u003c/em>” El Compa Negro said, reminiscing over his teen years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12035436 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/230401-Brittianna-Robinson-04-KQED-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowery said this was a difficult time in his life — his parents were in the midst of a divorce and the housing crisis put strain on the family, ultimately resulting in the loss of their house. During this time, his Mexican friends and their family became a source of comfort — they welcomed him into their culture and traditions, even gifting him a horse named Preciosa— with open arms, something he is grateful for to this day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the culture rubbed off on him, he started listening to regional Mexican music. The vast genre encompasses many styles of traditional Mexican music from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027942/loz-rayoz-de-guadalupe-central-coast-norteno-band-embrace-and-evolve-traditional-mexican-sound\">\u003cem>norteño\u003c/em> \u003c/a>to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034651/k-onda-april\">\u003cem>banda\u003c/em> \u003c/a>to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11963416/this-all-women-mariachi-group-from-sacramento-is-redefining-the-genre\">\u003cem>mariachi\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. In high school, his friends formed a norteño grupo, called Los Nuevos Padrinos. They asked Compa if he wanted to be a drummer, and he said yes. One day, as they practiced “Y Tú” by Julion Alvarez over and over again —Compa remembers memorizing the words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told me to grab a mic, that I sang better than I played,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His friend randomly recorded one of the times they were playing music at school, titled it “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J47iRCeNCEE\">El Compa Negro Gettin Down\u003c/a>,” and uploaded it to YouTube.

In Spanish, when you’re describing something, you describe it, and it becomes a part of the name,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He emphasized the differences between how the word is pronounced in Spanish in English. “ The alphabet is different and has a different meaning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Lowery was celebrated by his friends at the beginning stages of his career, he faced a lot of pushback from the Mexican community. Anti-Blackness is prevalent in the Latino community, rooted in the history of colonization. Five hundred years ago, when enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to Mexico’s shores, Spanish colonizers created a racial caste system to control the white, Black, Indigenous and multi-racial residents. The lighter you were, the higher up you could move on the social ladder. This racialized system persists to this day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would tell me they were going to kill me,” Lowery said. “I just kept doing my thing. A lot of people would tell me to leave the Mexican music for the Mexicans — that I should be rapping. But I did my research. Mariachi music has a lot of elements that are derived from African music.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowery learned about mariachi’s Afro-Mexican origins, heard in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGtvdFnc8oM\">polyrhythms\u003c/a> — multiple rhythms happening at the same time — of songs like “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiY-Rj3VA5s\">El Son de la Negra\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This whole time that they were telling me to not sing this music, I was singing my own music,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12035344 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250408-CAL-TECH-TESTING-113-ZS-KQED-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The erasure of African heritage in Latinidad, especially within Mexican history, is one of the issues that Lowery attempts to address as an African-American artist singing regional Mexican music. Core to his mission is standing up against racial injustice, anti-Blackness and colorism in the Latino community. He hopes that he can bring both of these families closer together through his music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Lowery was 17, his idol — popular Mexican-American artist Larry Hernandez — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsandiego.com/sounddiego/larry-hernandez-is-el-amigo-de-todos/1956948/\">invited him\u003c/a> on stage to sing with him at the Del Mar County Fair in San Diego. Hernandez had seen a video of Lowery covering his song “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCKK0RJV7fs\">Arrastrando Las Patas\u003c/a>” on YouTube and the artist was impressed. That was a pivotal day for a young Lowery — he performed for a crowd of about 15,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, he was a contestant on the Mexican talent competition show, \u003cem>“\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lVAp1VgXbs\">Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento\u003c/a>” — and won third place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the success and momentum around him, Lowery found it hard to make a living as a working musician. Traditional Mexican labels, he said, did not want to sign him because he was a “Negrito.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that time, Lowery learned he was going to become a father. He decided to prioritize family life and focus on fatherhood, and get a day job. For the next few years, he worked as a construction worker and tried his hand at being a car salesman. Although he picked up music gigs here and there, for the most part, he focused on providing for his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, an opportunity came that he couldn’t miss: in 2022, El Compa Negro was offered a record deal from Boss City Music and Death Row Records. At 29, he’s finally being recognized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12034740\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12034740\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-09-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">El Compa Negro performs performs with Banda La Unica Tierra de Reyes at El Dia Del Ranchero event in Compton. \u003ccite>(Aisha Wallace-Palomares for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s been hard to make ends meet in an industry that is only beginning to accept him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People tell me jamás, jamás vas a poder [you will never be able to], but I know that I will,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowery works evening shifts at Amazon and flips burgers at a club late into the night on the weekends.

These words have a complicated history — while they can be used in derogatory ways, many Afro-Latinos, Latinos of African descent, have chosen to embrace the words, like Miami artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/amara-la-negra-lifting-afrolatinidad-she-moves-hip-hop-n850611\">Amara La Negra\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12034737\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12034737\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-06-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man dressed in a charro suit, spins a lasso around himself, while a crowd watches in Compton. \u003ccite>(Aisha Wallace-Palomares for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12034736\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12034736\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250407-EL-COMPA-NEGRO-05-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two men on horseback ride on the sidewalk in Compton. \u003ccite>(Aisha Wallace-Palomares for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lowery chose to embrace using “Negro,” too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not really separating me, they are just describing me.

Core to his mission is standing up against racial injustice, anti-Blackness and colorism in the Latino community. He hopes that he can bring both of these families closer together through his music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Lowery was 17, his idol — popular Mexican-American artist Larry Hernandez — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsandiego.com/sounddiego/larry-hernandez-is-el-amigo-de-todos/1956948/\">invited him\u003c/a> on stage to sing with him at the Del Mar County Fair in San Diego. Hernandez had seen a video of Lowery covering his song “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCKK0RJV7fs\">Arrastrando Las Patas\u003c/a>” on YouTube and the artist was impressed. That was a pivotal day for a young Lowery — he performed for a crowd of about 15,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, he was a contestant on the Mexican talent competition show, \u003cem>“\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lVAp1VgXbs\">Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento\u003c/a>” — and won third place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the success and momentum around him, Lowery found it hard to make a living as a working musician. Traditional Mexican labels, he said, did not want to sign him because he was a “Negrito.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that time, Lowery learned he was going to become a father. He decided to prioritize family life and focus on fatherhood, and get a day job. For the next few years, he worked as a construction worker and tried his hand at being a car salesman. Although he picked up music gigs here and there, for the most part, he focused on providing for his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, an opportunity came that he couldn’t miss: in 2022, El Compa Negro was offered a record deal from Boss City Music and Death Row Records.

Jared Huffman (D–San Rafael) called Trump’s comments “lies” and accused the president of using the fires as an excuse for a water grab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of the policies in this executive order will move even a single drop of water to communities devastated by these wildfires,” Huffman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Westlands Water District, the largest agricultural irrigation agency in the country, disagreed and said in a statement that “the challenges that [Trump] highlights are real, and his leadership in addressing the barriers to water delivery are welcomed.” The district serves primarily farms in Fresno and Kings counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Were Trump to be successful in overriding policy on water deliveries from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, “it’s a zero-sum game,” said Jeffrey Mount, a senior fellow specializing in water at the Public Policy Institute of California. “The state then has to take on the burden of keeping the delta fresh enough so that farmers can use that water. And the state has to take on the burden of meeting the needs for fish in the delta and wildlife. Bottom line, that results in less water for Southern California.

For years, the federal government has been deferential to California when it comes to its rules around water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a really serious issue, which is significant both for California — because it’s a question of how much we’re in control of our own destiny here — but also throughout the West, where there’s a lot of states that don’t want the federal government disregarding their state laws on water or on environmental protection,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Börk noted that — as with all things related to California water policy — it will be difficult for Trump to make any changes, especially because water and the environment are so heavily regulated at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If this fight sounds familiar, that’s because it happened once before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2019, KQED \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1938750/trump-pressure-on-california-water-plan-excludes-public-rushes-science-emails-show\">reported that the Trump administration ordered federal biologists\u003c/a> to speed up decisions about whether to send more water from Northern California to farmers in the Central Valley, a move that critics said threatened the integrity of the science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following year, the administration moved ahead with plans to\u003cbr>\nlet farmers take more water from the state’s largest river systems, and California sued, arguing it would push endangered populations of delta smelt, chinook salmon and steelhead trout to extinction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Biden administration eventually reversed the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference this time around is that Trump is considering using the L.A. fires as a reason for exempting the project entirely from coverage by the Endangered Species Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To get there, it takes a lot of administrative work up front,” Börk said. “That will probably take a year or two to get done. And I suspect that that will also end up in court fairly quickly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
