On this episode, Diego interviews one of the most talented artists that have ever been on this show: Guitarricadelafuente. This 25-year-old is a Spanish composer and musician, who at the time of this interview, was in New York for the first time in his life. He had also just been nominated for a Latin GRAMMY for his music video "A Carta Cabal."

Guitarrica is very aware that the scope of his music transcends times and places in the world. After his visits to Mexico and New York, he hopes to make new listeners fall in love with his post modern art that mixes traditional flamenco with gen-z, normcore sounds.

Diego and Mariana invite Catalina García and Santiago Prieto, members of Monsieur Periné (originally hailing from Bogotá, Colombia), to Roberta's pizza. They talk about their new album "Bolero Apocalíptico," a project made up of 12 songs that are a message of love and a call for re-connection with the Earth. This episode features a wide ranging conversation that deep dives into their artistic process, their opinions on digital tools, and artificial intelligence in music.

Diego speaks to Gotopo, a multi-talented singer, composer, producer, and provocative performer from Venezuela who sees the future in her South American past. She’s skilled in folkloric stringed instruments and writes techno-inspired jams that reveal an Afro-indigenous legacy. Gotopo began her musical training in the town of Barquisimeto. In her youth, she participated in the youth orchestra system, a program in charge of the director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Gustavo Dudamel. When she moved to Berlin, Gotopo became a street performer, also participating in avant-garde musical events at the prestigious Humboldt Forum. Diego recorded his conversation with Gotopo in Bryant Park.

Cerramos nuestra mini-serie en colaboración con Parsons School of Design con un vistazo al mundo laboral de la comida en el futuro. Sabemos que el trabajo facilitado por las aplicaciones móviles como la repartición de la comida es controvertido por las pobres condiciones de trabajo. ¿Pero qué pasa cuando la tecnología se convierte en una herramienta de empoderamiento? La estudiante de arquitectura y diseño Carmen Iris Ruiz Cruz ha diseñado una aplicación móvil para los trabajadores inmigrantes que están en los EEUU bajo un visado especial, el H-2A. Ellos con frecuencia enfrentan abusos en su remuneración y condiciones de trabajo. Esta aplicación móvil podría empoderar a los trabajadores vulnerables ante sus condiciones laborales. Cerramos nuestra serie en colaboración con el diseñador y profesor de The New School, Alonso Castro.

Esta semana, seguimos el viaje largo de una fruta cotidiana: la banana. La estudiante de diseño Bhavya Gupta recrea la historia de la banana, desde las plantaciones centroamericanos hasta los supermercados en los Estados Unidos. En su proyecto, vemos que esta fruta humilde se encuentra en la intersección de varias historias y fuerzas, desde el colonialismo hasta la monocultura, la cadena de suministro global y el consumo. Parte de nuestra colaboración con Parsons School of Design y Alonso Castro.

This week, we’re following the long journey of a ubiquitous fruit: the banana. Design student Bhavya Gupta traces the banana along the global supply chain, from plantations in Central America to the supermarkets of the United States. Her project revisits this fruit at the intersection of different histories and forces, from colonialism to monoculture, the global supply chain, and consumption. Produced as part of our collaboration with Parsons School of Design and Alonso Castro.
