On this special 10th Anniversary edition of Tamarindo, we first reflect on a decade of centering Latine voices, our culture, and our commitment to inclusion.  We look back at what it was like to record the first episode and how Tamarindo has evolved to so much more than a podcast. For this special occasion, Delsy and I recorded in her home and you’ll hear Delsy’s 7-month old baby in the background who didn’t want to miss the action.

After that, we chat with Karen Gonzalez from Karen y los Remedios, a band known for blending traditional cumbia with electronic, trip-hop, and lo-fi textures. This interview was just ahead of their intimate performance right here in Lincoln Heights, blocks from Tamarindo’s HQ. You’ll hear a bit of background noise as the band’s team sets up. 

We reference this episode about the Latino Media Consortium: https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/why-we-need-more-latine-led-news-rooms-with-lucy-flores/id1102882792?i=1000712423695
