The Chus Martínez moniker has the advantage of being one that might belong to either a European or an African since Chus as a first name does not appear to be language ryospecific. In this way it is superior to any previous multiple identity we are aware of. The last part of moniker reffers to all poetic in the heart colonized-mind-spanish speaking world.
