Revolutionary Minds Zack De La Rocha

Zacarías Manuel "Zack" de la Rocha (born January 12, 1970) is an American musician, poet, rapper and activist best known as the vocalist and lyricist of Rage Against the Machine.

De la Rocha was born in Long Beach, California, to a Mexican-American father, artist Roberto "Beto" de la Rocha, and a German-Irish mother, Olivia de la Rocha. His father played an integral part in his cultural upbringing. Beto was a muralist and a member of Los Four, the first Chicano art collective to be exhibited at a museum (LACMA, 1973). De la Rocha's grandfather was a Sonorensan revolutionary born in Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, who fought in the Mexican Revolution and worked as an agricultural labourer in the US. Later, de la Rocha would see the hardships his grandfather endured reflected in the struggles of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
