Loved writing about the sources of Esteban Flores' southwestern emo-tinged grungegaze. Plus, I really want to steal the name "Slow Joy". Thanks, Chicago Reader Gman Tavern https://chicagoreader.com/music/concert-preview/slow-joy-gman-tavern/

On his newest album, Flores lays out angsty vocals over a foundation of gritty punk guitar to create melanges of grungy shoegaze.

Full Moon Vibing, Chicago style

It’s not often you can do morning #yoga with live music led by Carlo Basile including kora and djembe. C’mon! #Chicago is just the best.

Happy #internationaldanceday! with fine moves (including Glory Land perreo!) as seen at #jazzfest @agrupacionchangooficial @_ife

New Orleans Jazzfest, the one and only. Stepping into the mystery and magic of the music and how it seems so obvious we are all in this together…

@jazz_showcase delighted to check in on the sounds of @julipuku #julianandfriends #mamey featuring @jonathansuazosi #warriorsofculture keeping Caribbean #RepublicaDominicana #Haiti #PuertoRico sounds in the contemporary music conversation @emmakday @dontcallmejay
