Chicanx band Las Cafeteras talk with Michael about bringing their culture into their music and spreading positivity. In this fun and real conversation, band members Denise and Hector discuss growing up with immigrant parents, as well as taking this time of political unrest to build a just society. We learn about how they stay human by using music and dance to heal and stay centered.
