Ok, so we have to confess - we recorded this episode before the white supremacist insurrection feeling like we’d made it out, pero judging by the last few days a new year doesn’t mean that we are in the clear. But it is a chance to start over, and set some aspirations for this coming year. In today’s episode we bring you music that shines a light on what we hope 2021 will bring.

Featuring music by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Buscabulla, Sabrina Claudio, Andrekza, Alex Ferreira, Eladio Carrion, Wilfrido Vargas and Jhay Cortez.

We’re usually not this forward, pero the last tattered shreds of American democracy are on the line here, so if you live in the United States and are able to do so, we spend much of this week literally begging you to vote 45 out of office. We truly believe that we can create better conditions for organizing for our REAL liberation work if we don’t have a fascist in office, so porfissssss??? Also no nos imaginamos que pueda ser posible, pero if you’re a Trump supporter WE DON’T WANT YOU LISTENING! BYEEEEE!
