RIFF-TINA -- the Jewish-Puerto Rican pop sensation created by comedian and Broadway and TV star Leslie Kritzer, currently appearing in Something Rotten! at the St. James Theater -- is happy to drop her latest track in support of the Hillary Clinton campaign, "Taco Truck Invasion." The music video racked up over 38,000 views in its first day. The song will be available as a single on iTunes and other digital platforms today, October 21. Watch the video here!

After discovering that her retired Latin mother is voting for Trump based on anti-Mexican comments from the leader of Latinos for Trump Marco Gutierrez, Riff and her girls take to the streets! This throwback dance jam will not only convince voters that a taco truck on every corner is a f#$*ing delicious idea, but that diversity should be encouraged and not erased, since it creates the tastiest ingredients in the mouthwatering fusion taco we like to call "America."

The "Taco Truck Invasion" video was directed by Randy Blair with choreography by MiMi Scardulla. Andrew Keenan Bolger serves as director of photography. The cast features Rory O'Malley, Josh Lamon, Larry Owens, MiMi Scardulla, MJ Rodriguez and Miriam Rodriguez. It was produced by Jordan Rathus with Kritzer and Greg Brunswick serving as executive producers.

The song was written by Leslie Kritzer with additional lyrics by Randy Blair. It was produced by Ron Robinson, Jr. with additional arrangements by James Sampliner.

Leslie Kritzer is an award-winning comedian, Broadway and TV actress. She is currently starring in Something Rotten! on Broadway and guest starred in the HBO series "Vinyl" opposite Ray Romano. She recently won a Lucille Lortel Award for her performance in The Roundabout Theater Company's The Robber Bridegroom.
