On today’s episode we have the privilege of speaking to Cuban born jazz musician Harold Lopez Nussa. 

Harold currently lives in France and joins us from a busy cafe in Paris, so please excuse the background noise.

Harold and I talk about his recent album Timba a la Americana, his family, and his love for the Bay Area  especially after a recent performance at Berkeley’s Freight and Salvage.

For 48 years, The San Francisco-based American Indian Film Festival has been a sort of sacred cinema space, celebrating and uplifting the experiences of Natives through film while also providing  Native filmmakers and actors with a platform to showcase their work. As the opening date for this year's Festival nears, we sit down with Mytia Zavala, the daughter of the festival’s founder, Michael Smith. Smith died suddenly in 2018, leaving Zavala to carry on her father’s legacy. Here is our conversation.

Acción Latina's very own Rebeca Abidaíl Flores sits down with legendary poeta, Juan Felipe Herrera. Juan Felipe served as the U.S. Poet Laureate; they had a conversation in the Laurate Lab Wordist Studio.

With El Tecolote celebrating another year around the sun we wanted to share with you another Radio Teco rewind as we go back to our conversation from last year with El Tecolote founder Juan Gonzalez.
