Barrios del México de Afuera ¡Ya llegó su pachucote!

A few months ago, I had the true honor and pleasure to talk de conversar con Roco Pachukote, co-founder of Maldita Vecindad about his very first encounters with Chicano culture growing up in Mexico City.

Roco talked about the perennial and continuous relation, exchange, and even complicities between @malditavecindad, chicanismo, Chicano artists, and the barrios in Greater Mexico: Los Ángeles, San Francisco, Chicago y más.

Plus, we discussed how Roco and Maldita have also contributed to the new Pachuco aesthetics aquí y allá. . Check it out!

By the way, the following audio versión is all in Spanish, but you can view the English subtitles on video on YouTube.
