  • Dr. Hadiya Sewer | Virgin Islands Studies Collective





    Dr. Hadiya Sewer joins the show to discuss some of her work with the Virgin Islands Studies Collective and the St. John Heritage Collective.



    "On St. John I spoke a great deal about radical imaginaries and thinking critically about a geneology of VI thought, and understanding that if we trace the ways in which Virgin Islanders have thought and organized over the span of history we start to see that we have a very robust and cohesive set of ideologies, and they're critically concerned with questions of freedom, of justice, of humanity. Questions of race, class, gender in the Americas, but really also on continental Africa and the globe more broadly speaking."



    "What happens at the moment, for some of us, when we realize that we cannot continue this intentional process of forgetting, that we do have to remember that this lack of autonomy burns at our core a bit, and that we desire something better, something greater, something with a great deal more sovereignty?"



    Dr. Sewer also addressed some questions about the new administration on the VI, the Federal government shutdown's effect on St. John, and the impact of climate change in the VI.

  • Festival Quinto Sol Quetzaltenango – March 28-31, 2019





    "Festival Quinto Sol is a celebration in Xela (Quetzaltenango), Guatemala to interpret, express and apply the fifth cycle of the Mayan cosmovision through art!"



    These ten principles and the core ideas of Burning Man and a possible way of living are in many ways aligned with ...Quinto Sol, the fifth cycle of the Mayan calendar. They are very much a balance of masculine and feminine. They're a balance of human and nature. They're a balance of how we interact with money.Caleb Olson, co-director Festival Quinto Sol



    In this special edition of the Travelogue Media podcast, my guests are Caleb Olson, Kiri Glinz, and Jeffrey Salazar. They shared their passion for art and creativity as they were busily preparing for the third edition of Festival Quinto Sol which starts tomorrow, Thursday March 28th and runs through Sunday March 31st. The festival will be held in Parque Central in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. See you there!



    This fifth cycle is 5,200 years. We started this cycle in 2012 when everyone thought the earth was going to die. This actually was the beginning of this new, awesome cycle. We believe as Festival Quinto Sol that through art we can help this change.Kiri Glinz, co-director Festival Quinto Sol

  • Palomazo Cósmico

    Palomazo Cósmico is a group from Baja California (No, it's not a city in California!) just wrapping up a tour with Melbeat.  Their second disc is called El Árbol de los Deseos. 



    Mar Leal, Timna Baltodano, and Gabriela Bastidas (not pictured) are Palomazo Cósmico.  Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. 2018  



    I was passing through Parque Central one afternoon during a concert.  What I was hearing was so unique and inspiring I decided to stay until the end of the set.  I asked guitarist, vocalist Timna Baltodano if they would be able to do an interview. 



    You can get a copy of their latest album at one of their remaining live shows:



    * Saturday, December 15, Cactus Grill, Antigua, Guatemala* Sunday, December 16, Rainbow Cafe, Antigua, Guatemala* Wednesday, December 19, El baúl de las palabras del viejo tío Pony, San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico



    "Un combi nos dejó en la carretera y teníamos que caminar hacia otra. Y cuando iba caminando con mi mochila, con mis cosas todo pesado, de repente…no se… Sentí como una plenitud y como…no sé… Era la carretera verde del lado izquierdo, verde de tu lado derecho, árboles, árboles. No veías nada. Tú estabas allí solo en la existencia con tu equipo. Íbamos hacia Durango. Creo que eso es también de los momentos que más me han incluso ayudado cuando estoy bien cansada. Lo vale,no? Lo vale lo vale porque hay estos momentos que a veces uno ni los espera no y se vuelven como muy mágicos o muy plenos."



    Timna Baltodano



    "Creo que la naturaleza es una gran gran maestra porque ha logrado sobrevivir tantos años, no? Incluso más que el humano. Y seguirá sobreviviendo después de nosotros, no? Es aparte que la naturaleza es un lugar donde te puedes relajar no? Te puedes relajar y llegas y te quitas a lo mejor ciertas etiquetas o ciertos tabús para ser tú mismo…tuyo esencial."



    Mar Leal

  • Anabella Acevedo





    Anabella Acevedo is a Guatemalan writer, editor and curator.  She began her study of Latin American literature during the height of the country's 36-year armed conflict.  She later moved to the United States to complete her graduate studies at the University of Georgia in Athens.  There she would gain a deeper understanding of her own country and exposure to feminist thinking.  While teaching at Texas Christian University, the Peace Accords were signed in Guatemala marking the beginning of a new era.  She decided it was the right moment to return home.



    "I started feeling that so many things, exciting things were happening in Guatemala.  I was about to get my tenure. But I decided that Guatemala was the place where I wanted to be.  So I returned.  And in part it was because it was the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s.  It was a period of transition. And many things were happening.  And in the arts in Guatemala it was incredible. What was happening it was so new and so... refreshing that I wanted to be here."

  • Yessica Pastor





    Yessica Pastor, la nueva directora de EntreMundos, nos cuenta algunas de las ideas que está aportando a la organización y cómo puede involucrarse.



    "Creo que es indispensable en este sentido poder coordinar acciones como organizaciones también como sociedad civil como personas individuales y como instituciones para que así podamos tener una voz más fuerte y que realmente podamos impactar. Creo que eso es uno de los puntos más importantes porque si realizamos acciones separadas realmente creo que no vamos a alcanzar los objetivos. Sabemos que actualmente los recursos son limitados y por lo tanto debemos de optimizar esos recursos."



    "Uno de los puntos más importantes que nosotros como EntreMundos quisiéramos reflejar a la sociedad es que necesitamos tener un nivel de conciencia y conocimiento para poder accionar. Muchas veces se crean actividades que realmente no tienen mucho impacto. Esto se debe en gran medida al hecho de que no existe conocimiento sobre nuestros antecedentes históricos y que al mismo tiempo no hemos podido reconocer de qué forma nosotros debemos accionar."

  • Tetox

    Photo: Lila Icks



    This week my guest is Tetox who shares his experience growing up in a family of musicians in Quetzaltenango.  In the 1970s his father and uncle, both musicians, had to flee to Mexico.  Guatemala's military regime had made it clear that protest songs would not be tolerated.  His father would later return to Guatemala, but stopped playing music until the armed conflict began to calm down.  In his youth Tetox developed a passion for music.  He's learned several instruments and has played with different groups including Los Barbasonicos.



    Quiero hacer otro grupo con el mismo concepto.  No tocar música popular que todos escuchan, tocar lo que tú quieres.  Y eso funciona también porque nosotros con Los Barbasónicos siempre tocamos música que nos gustaba a nosotros pero también a mucha gente y muchas personas que nos escuchaban decían wow esto no lo escuchas en otro lugar.



    Actualmente en Guatemala no somos reprimidos los artistas pero tenemos la libre expresión.  Y con la libre expresión podemos hacer muchas cosas. Estamos en un tiempo un poco difícil con cosas malas que hace por supuesto nuestro gobierno muchos gobiernos.  Pero la música debe ser nuestro instrumento para dar la paz, para dar mensajes de amor.

  • DJ Dizam





    If you go to Kasa Kiwi's rooftop bar on the first Friday of the month you can enjoy an hour of free beer or wine while listening to beats skillfully delivered by DJ Dizam.  In early September that's exactly what I did.



    We talked about her favorite musical genres, how not to approach a dj, and her idea of a perfect gig:



    My ideal gig is when no one talks to me and I get to play whatever I want to play and everybody's dancing... (laughs) That’s probably the ideal gig for any DJ.  But especially here like you know, people are a little bit more aggressive.  They'll put their phone in your face with the name of a song on it instead of saying excuse me or you know... There's no niceties.  It's kind of just like they want to hear what they want to hear.  And so I appreciate when, you know.... I'm damn near invisible to be honest with you.  I don't do it for attention. I'd rather be in the back behind some black sheet. And I can look out and see, Okay everyone likes what I'm playing.  Everybody likes the music. Everyone's dancing. Esta bien.
