Ep 78 - Las Cafeteras

One of the members of Las Cafeteras gave me their CD about a year ago. I kept it in my car without listening to it because, let's face it, people give me a lot of free shitty CDs… but I wish I had listened to this one sooner. I finally played it a few months ago and something about it touched me. The music was beautiful and the message behind it was something I hadn't heard in music before. A group of 6 young Chicanos who came up through music lessons in a cafe in East L.A. have been working their asses off over the last 10 years and have finally started to get some recognition. We've got 4 of the members with us today (Hector, Daniel, Leah & Jose), they chilled with us and gave us their stories of getting started, their activism and where they're going next. *If you're in the L.A. area, go see them at the El Rey on Dec 12. It will sell out! Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening!
