00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: new show, we launched a book club and we're also

83
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: reworking our Patreon, so we want to talk about that

84
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: today before we get into our amazing interview with one

85
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: of our favorite people in the entire world. So before that,

86
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: we do want to share some quick updates with you,

87
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: and the first one being UM that I launched a

88
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: book club under look at that our productions, which has

89
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: been really exciting and we have like over fifty members

90
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: and we're growing and just want to let's talk about

91
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: the book club for a little bit. And so I

92
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: launched a book club called Locas Lipros and it's a

93
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: book club for film nerds. Each month, I will select

94
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: a book readden by a BIPOC or Latin X author

95
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: and we will also have a virtual discussion together via

96
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: Patreon at the end of the month, and there's also

97
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: some opportunities to meet slash speak with the authors involved. Um,

98
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: I already have the next couple of months planned out,

99
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: which is really exciting. And UM, you know this idea,

100
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, I really resisted launching a book club mile

101
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: and I have been talking about it for many years.

102
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: Doing it underlook at the radio. I was like, no,

103
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: there's so many great book clubs already, Like why should

104
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: I launch one myself. But you know, I will say

105
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: that after quarantine or during quarantine, during the I was

106
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: reading a lot and I wanted to discus us these

107
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: books with people, and I had nobody to talk about

108
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: it with, and I would like post the pictures of

109
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: the books that I was reading on my Instagram and informally,

110
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: like folks that follow me my little digital community, we

111
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: would talk about the different books, and so that really

112
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: pushed me to create the book club under a look

113
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: at that our productions, and so I'm really excited. There

114
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,320

115
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,840

312
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: actually really amazing to be able to build with another

313

00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: as undocumented artists DJs. UM. It's super important to continue

316
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: to build community UM, not only on you know, on

317
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: the streets and the protests and political spaces, but also

318
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: in the nightlife. UM. And it has been such a

319
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: beautiful welcoming UM to be able to build with folks

320
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: in the East Coast UM and and create that camaraderie

324
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,119

326
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,280

Speaker 1: else who has been part of the collective and of

328
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: the movement as a whole. I think that I love

329
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: so much about Kumbaton is the fact that she would

330
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: bring DJs from out of state to play parties here

331
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: in l A, many of them being after Latin X

332
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: DJs from New York. Like I want to say, DJ

333
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: bon Bona right is one of the DJs that is

334
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: like a friend of Gumbaton and has come and played

335
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: in in a multiple of your parties. Um, And that's

336
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: how I was introduced to her in her music. And

337
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: I missed that a lot. I miss going to parties

338
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: of course seeing DJ Carmello play, seeing DJ Sizzle play,

339
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: maybe seeing DJ Zuri play, but then all the out

340
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: of state and like traveling talent, and then you also

341
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: would like at your parties, like we went to the

342
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: Globe to the Gumaton anniversary and you just brought out

343
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: tons and tons and done some different musicians and acts

344
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: and bund us and it was amazing. Um, what is

345
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: kumiat Throne coming back? And what was it like not

346
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: doing in person the way it was like? What was

347
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: that like for you? Yeah? It was really hard, you

348
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: know because it was a space that we had fostered

349
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: for three years prior to the pandemic. We um had

350
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: our three year anniversary during a pandemic. So, um, it

351
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: was a little bit um of of a challenge. It

352
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: was pretty sad, you know, not to be able to buy,

353
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: not to be able to see people, not to be

354
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: able to like hug people. As a DJ, I feed

355
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: off of the energy that the crowd provides, um, and

356
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of messing with that, I guess, um in terms

357
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: of for example, you know, it's just not the same

358
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: in a computer screen on a telephone. You know, it's

359
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: just not the same. But people manage to continue to

360
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: show up and show out. And I was so surprised

361
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: by that. Pleasantly surprised, I might add, because I didn't

362
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: know whether the music or our vibes were going to

363
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: be able to translate well virtually. Um. But I am

364
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: so incredibly glad grateful that it did, because it not

365
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: only helped me mentally, emotionally, spiritually, but I think it

366
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: helped out a lot of people. Um that we're going

367
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: through things in the pandemic, right, and I think that's

368
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: what our community is all about. Um, we have each

369
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: other's backs when nobody will have our backs, right, because

370
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: we know that nobody's going to have our back, Like

371
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: communities that to have our back, and it was really

372
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: beautiful to foster this new virtual space and continue to

373
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: connect and continue to grow even in a pandemic. So UM,

374
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: while it was hard, I think it definitely UM affirmed

375
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: UM our community are family ties, and you know, we're

376

00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, she lives with me, so anytime that I

419
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: would play, and my the type of music that I

420
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: play is mostly Latin x UM rooted obviously in Afro

421
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: Latin X music, whether it was Fumbia, whether it would

422
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: on side, literally all in any music is rooted in

423
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: um Afro Afro Latinia or just black folks period. You know.

424
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: Um she would come by and she would um, you know,

425
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: just dance and have a blast. And you know she

426
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: wasn't on camera yet, but she would be dancing around

427
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: the living room or you know, dancing while she cooked.

428
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: And one of those moments I was like, place do

429
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: you want to come? And that's why are you hiding?

430
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: Come over here? And that was it. A star was

431
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: born right after that. You know, she loved the camera

432
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: and the camera loved her. I love that. I love

433
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: that because we know a thing or two about like

434
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: supportive moms. Our mom's living with us, us living with

435
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: our moms and then them being very much around like

436
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: the creative process, um, like even right now when we

437
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: were recording, like my mom is walking by the dogs

438
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: are like you know, and like being able to be

439
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: creative in your home with family can get difficult, but

440
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: it also brings like these really beautiful moments where they

441
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: get to be involved in the process. So I love

442
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: that you shared that because she has definitely been present

443
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: and very visible at like lots of Yeah. Absolutely, I

444
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: feel that, you know, this quarantine just kind of solidified

445
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: her title as you know, go Go Hype woman. What

446
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: we call her is the mother of ceremonies, you know, yes,

447
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: always been their supporting Yeah, I love that, And you know,

448
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: one of the going back to like when we met

449
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: and then just collaborating over the years, like we have

450
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: definitely talked about like being women, curating nightlife spaces, um,

451
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: working with venues, working with the men that manage these venues,

452
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: and we have like long had a long time dream,

453
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: right or goal of one day owning our own venue

454
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: or being able to collaboratively have a space that we

455
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: can all use and be comfy using. And I have

456
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: to deal with us back and forth and like lies

457
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: also or being like cheated of money, like all those

458
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: different things that could happen when you are in nightlife.

459
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: And so I heard on the street and but on

460
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: the street, I mean Cecil told us that, um, you

461
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: may or may not be working towards the venue. And

462
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: maybe by the time this episode is out, you know,

463
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: more people will know. So let's let's go back and

464
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about that. Yes, UM, word on the street

465
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: is correct. Um. Coming this summer July, I'm gonna be

466
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: opening a lifelong dream of mine and my mom's, which

467
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: is to have a little restaurant UM with a little

468
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: more included UM, where we are going to be able

469
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: to sell my mom's delicious food, you know, host events, UM,

470
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: and literally have access to the spaces that many times

471
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: we were denied of deprived of, right Um. And it's

472
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: been such a wild ride, but we are here and

473
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, like it's surreal even to like speak it now,

474
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: because it was many times where I just felt like

475
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: there was are gonna happen, you know. UM. So just

476
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: to give you a little bit of a background, UM,

477
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: we have been looking for a space for well Over,

478
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe like four or five years. UM.

479
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: We are undocumented immigrants the Mexico. UM never been shy

480
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: about our status on on in the contrary, like, um,

481
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, I've always been vocal about it because you know,

482
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: being undocumented doesn't really define who you are other than

483
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: a badass period um. But you know, it's never been

484
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: something that I have, um, really hid from people, you know,

485
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: um and as many of us know, right like, we

486
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: come from immigrant parents as well, who left behind a

487
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: lot of their own personal dreams to give us a

488
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: better life. And that's exactly what my mom co Loco

489
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: did for me, you know. Um. We arrived here when

490
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: I was four years old. UM. And she has been

491
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: working as a housekeeper as a street vendor um for

492
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: well over twenty years until the pandemic happened. UM. And

493
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: that's when she was, you know, um forced to stop working. Um.

494
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: She no longer had her job as a housekeeper as

495
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: a swap meet ender. UM, so she had to stop,

496
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, doing all of that for her safety, which

497
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: was fine. I was thankfully able to like continue to

498
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: do my work. Shout out you know, social media, shout

499
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: out the different platforms that allowed me to still you know,

500
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: be able to provide for my family. And myself. Um,

501
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: and you know again, this was a dream of my

502
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: mom's to be able to own her own restaurant, as

503
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: she was a restaurant here back in Mexico. But for

504
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: different reasons, you know, that didn't work out. Um, but

505
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: her dream has always been, you know, to own a

506
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: little restaurant. So I busted my butt. If y'all knew

507
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: me before the pandemic, I was gigging to three gigs

508
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: and one day and one night, I would, you know,

538
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,959

Speaker 1: But actually wink And we all know we have those

591
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: spots because Lord knows it my dating times, you know,

592
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: I would go to, you know, a little spot out

593
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: here in downtown l A. And the waiters already knew,

594
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: like they would give me the look, so we're gonna

595
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: be tight like that. Yeah, that's how it. Okay, maybe

596
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm not as messy, but I would not do that.

597
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: I would go to different places all the time. I

598
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: do not need to be caught up by anybody, Okay.

599
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: Oh no. There was definitely a time where I would

600
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: take all my dates downtown, somewhere downtown, and then we

601
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: would end up at Lasita. And it was at Lasita

602
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: where the bouncers were like raising eyebrows at me because

603
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: there was a little you know, there was a windmill

604
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: and there was a wind meal of dates there, you

605
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: know what, before Last bed Last was canceled. That was

606
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: my messy spot. I we all have one where I

607
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: would end up and I would take the dates. You're right,

608
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: You're right, Okay, I think I saw you at Lass

609
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: like once or twice. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Probably, I

610
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: love it. Oh my god, I'm so excited. I've been

611
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: not probably, I have been caught up there though. So

612
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: is this a story time? No, no story time, I'm not.

613
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you myself. I think there was a

614
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a delay. But I have gone to

615
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: the last bed last, pre pre cancelation um, pre pandemic

616
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: where pre partner um, where I would run into people

617
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: with like when I was with someone and then I

618
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: run into somebody else and I was with somebody else,

619
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 1: and then it was like you know how that goes,

620
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: you know what happens. And also, here's the thing is

621
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: is then you take your dates too. If you take

622
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: your dates to too many different places. Now they know

623
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: about all these places, and if you kind of isolate

624
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: it to one spot, you know what I mean, It's

625
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: like you can decide to just not go back to

626
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: that spot. Well, maybe I shouldn't take them to your restaurant, Sizzle. No,

627
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,040
