Felipe Andres Coronel, also known as Immortal Technique, is a Peruvian-American rapper and activist. His lyrics often spotlight global politics from a left-wing perspective.

He emigrated with his family to Harlem, New York, to escape the Peruvian Civil War. He has stated:

I’m not Latinx. I’m a Native American from South America who unlike some deranged “Latinos” is proud of his African ancestry as well. Native women were raped for centuries to create “Latinos[.]” Save your tears about forced diversity. My people were created by “forced diversity.”
