On today’s very special episode of Songmess we’re sitting down with scholar, podcaster and legendary chavorruco, Babelito, of Latinos Who Lunch! Babelito a.k.a. Enmanuel Ortega is half of the LWL podcast alongside rising art world star Favy Fav, and together they’ve brought insightful, critical and hilarious conversations on Latinx identity to the masses for almost five years.
Listen as we caemos en un abismo de pasión, for possibly our Spanglishiest episode to date! Today’s conversation is all about 2020 releases that didn’t receive the attention they deserved, questioning colonial mindsets and performative wokeness, the future of the Latinos Who Lunch podcast, and a much-needed dissection of controversial Latin rock documentary Rompan Todo.
Playlist: Manitas Nerviosas, Meth Math, Balún, Rocío Saiz, History of Colour, CANA!, Molero, Cienfue, Crudo Means Raw and Mabe Fratti.
