Joshua Marquez is back and we discussed how identity and culture shape our perceptions of ourselves and the cultures we belong in. It was a very challenging conversation for me and that’s a good thing. He pointed out ways in which my words indicate how I’ve internalized colonization, but we also discuss music, creation, and qualities in music and how they describe cultural nuance. It’s a lot. The track that plays at the end is “Mandala” from his album, Violent Yellow. You can find Joshua’s stuff on his website: https://joshuamarquez.com/
