Radio Menea Verónica Bayetti Flores and Miriam Zoila Pérez

Pride is nigh, querides, and this week we’re re-running an early-days (2016!!!) episode of Radio Menea featuring queer artists. Listen in to hear about queer Latinx musicians who've been doing it since forever, and some of the new generation of out and proud folks who are walking in their footsteps. We also talk about the origins of Pride and its inextricable connection to Latinx resistance.

Featuring music by Ricky Martin, Alex Anwandter, Andy Peña, Rita Indiana, Albita, and Javiera Mena.

This week, un invitado muy especial: Chilean indie darling and Radio Menea fave Alex Anwandter, talking about his new album Dime Precioso. Join us as we talk about his bimbo era, why he’s found his power in the superficial, the challenges of the music industry today, and how - as a long time “super gay” artist - he’s moving away from the commodification of identity in his latest work.

Featuring music by Alex Anwandter.
