With the exception of a cover by Gepe, this episode is wall to wall Cafeta and discussions on how the band helped shape Mexico's modern musical identity. On top of that we talk podcast shop, and Beverly's and Babelito's forgotten Vegas history, all of course, with a healthy side of mess. Enjoy, y nos vemos en el mosh pit!

Latinos Who Lunch are back this week to celebrate la patrona de las Americas, la Virgen de Guadalupe. The tilma, or cloth on which the image of the Virgin appeared is housed in the Basilica of Mexico City and it is believed to have been a creation from God, appearing miraculously to Juan Diego 500 years ago. Babelito dissects this highly venerated image to better understand its place in Latinx popular imaginary. FavyFav relates the ways in which he has engaged with the image given his religious upbringing and the way contemporary artists have used what is perhaps the most important painting ever created in the Americas. Listen as they both dissect history and dismantle some popular myths behind this important art work.
