    Sasha and Glory are celebrating one of their own.

And, of course, Sasha puts Chris’s Spanish to the test to determine whether the Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Mexican comedian is really Latino enough. 😭If you’ve ever:Had to believe in yourself before anyone else didPrepared for an opportunity that could change everythingNeeded a little healthy delusion to keep goingWatched people act differently once you started winningBeen Latino and hoped nobody asked you to translate something on the spot…this episode is for you.And don’t forget to show up for Chris on America’s Got Talent — “Y’all got one.” 🇩🇴🇵🇷🇲🇽💛 Join the Morir Soñando Patreon for early access, bonus content, and more chaotic conversations.

    S2E9: “Esa Canción No Va…” ft. Hamilton

    Sasha and Glory are putting their Spanish to the ultimate test. In their first-ever all-Spanish episode, Colombian artist Hamilton joins them for a conversation about music, culture, heartbreak, and what it means to trust your instincts as an artist.In this episode, Hamilton takes Sasha and Glory through his journey from Cartagena to becoming one of the artists bringing Colombian Afrobeat to a global audience. He opens up about the music and culture that shaped him, the artists who inspired him, touring with Ryan Castro, and what it feels like to watch the career he once dreamed about become his real life.What starts as a conversation about his music quickly turns into something deeper: how you know when a song is actually good, why the people closest to you don’t always see the vision, and how some of the best music can come from the moments you least expect. Hamilton shares how friends made him doubt “For Life” before it became one of the songs listeners connected with most, why he turned heartbreak into gratitude on “Gracias Por Aparecer,” and how a voice note from his mom unexpectedly found its way onto Afro Rockstar. They also get into the African roots behind the sounds coming out of Cartagena, why Hamilton believes music and culture can’t be separated, the story behind his new song “Jamaica,” and, of course, a few Colombian words Sasha and Glory may or may not be ready to add to their vocabulary. If you’ve ever:Doubted something you created because of someone else’s opinionHad a song completely change your moodTurned heartbreak into something beautifulWondered where your favorite sounds and genres come fromHad to trust your vision before anyone else could see itDreamed about taking what you love further than you ever imagined…this episode is for you.💛 Join the Morir Soñando Patreon for early access, bonus content, and more chaotic conversations.

    S2E3: We Used To Dream About This
