New Jersey-based synth-rock-soul purveyor 54 Ultra slays us with First Work, a six-track EP that contains the Spanglish single “No Tengo Valor.” The song title is open to interpretation: either “I Don't Have Value,” or “I Don't Have The Guts or Valor.” Intense subject matter aside, the song functions as a lighthouse of sonic components as 54 Ultra weaves his Puerto Rican and Dominican roots into a super-catchy (and formidable) Latin Soul number.

Sus increíbles playas, entre las mejores playas del mundo, y que se caracterizan por su interminable arena fina y sus cálidas aguas cristalinas, han hecho que República Dominicana y Punta Cana sean destinos de sobra conocidos casi por cualquiera. Pero no solo de playas vive el país: la cultura dominicana tiene mucho que ofrecer y, si la conoces, te enamorarás aún más del país caribeño.El merengue es uno de los géneros musicales por excelencia dentro de la cultura dominicana. Originariamente se interpretaba con instrumentos de cuerda, que fueron sustituidos por el acordeón. Más tarde, el trío instrumental típico incluyó el acordeón, la güira y la tambora, que juntos representa la unión de tres culturas: la influencia europea con el acordeón, la africana con la tambora y la taína por la güira.Otro de los géneros musicales típicos de la cultura y costumbres dominicanas es la bachata. Influida por el bolero, el merengue y el son cubano, se la conocía como 'música de amargue' por su temática, que giraba la mayoría de veces a la temática del desamor y a la melancolía provocada por este. Actualmente, la bachata ha alcanzado una gran popularidad en toda América Latina y es replicada en canciones de cantantes pop actuales como Romeo Santos y Rosalía.La comida dominicana tiene una clara influencia criolla, es decir, con influencia europea pero desarrollada en América y con ciertos rasgos africanos. Tiene una gran importancia el arroz, la carne, los frijoles o los vegetales, lo que se percibe en sus platos más típicos como la bandera arroz blanco, habichuelas y carne guisada, o el sancocho estofado de carne guisada, hortalizas, plátano y yuca.Además de la comida, existen algunas bebidas que son clásicas de la gastronomía de la cultura dominicana, entre las que destacan cualquiera que lleve ron, el espirituoso emblema de la isla. Con él se realiza uno de los tragos más conocidos de República Dominicana, la mamajuana, del que se dice que tiene propiedades afrodisíacas. Otra bebida clásica es el Coco Loco, especialmente en las playas, que contiene vodka, tequila, ron, zumo de limón y crema de coco. El toque distintivo se lo da el propio coco en el que se sirve.My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

People who live in Inwood know how truly special it is. Manhattan's northernmost neighborhood (aside from Marble Hill) feels like it's outside of the city -- and in some places, even outside of time and space. Unlike the lower Manhattan's flat avenues and organized streets, Inwood varies wildly in elevation and its streets wind up hills and down into valleys.It's a twenty minute walk from the mysterious "Indian caves" to some of the best Dominican food in New York City. You can experience the ghosts of Gilded Age mansions close to New York's last remaining forest. Revolutionary War artifacts sit a few blocks away from vestiges of a 20th century Irish community.In this special on-location episode, Greg Young and producer Kieran Gannon wind their way through the streets of Inwood and through (that's right) thousands of years of history -- from salt marshes to old amusement parks, from ancient arches to Broadway musicals, with ducks and egrets and dogs and beavers making guest appearances along the way.And since we're on the subject -- what IS the deal with Marble Hill? What do you mean, it's a Manhattan neighborhood?Featuring special guests Melissa Kieweit (Dyckman Farmhouse), Cole Thompson (Lost Inwood) and Led Black (Uptown Collective)This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.The Bowery Boys Podcast is proud to be sponsored by FOUNDED BY NYC, celebrating New York City's 400th anniversary in 2025 and the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.

Dascha Polanco opens up like never before. She gets real about her journey from growing up in New York City with strong Dominican roots
What happens when a firefighter-paramedic witnesses the failures of our healthcare system firsthand? For Sam Tejada, it sparked a revolution that's transforming wellness across America.Sam's story begins as the youngest child of Dominican immigrants who settled in Wisconsin, where his parents worked tirelessly as architects to provide opportunities for their children. From this foundation of determination, Sam developed both a servant's heart and an entrepreneurial spirit that would later define his career.After becoming a firefighter-paramedic at just 20 years old, Sam spent 12 years responding to emergency calls, where he noticed a disturbing pattern: patients returning to the hospital with worsening conditions despite multiple medications and doctor visits. "I became a product to our broken medical system and it was eating me alive," Sam reveals, explaining how this realization collided with his exposure to functional medicine approaches that were actually changing lives.With just $500 and a borrowed room in a doctor's office, Sam launched Liquivita Wellness Centers while still working full-time as a firefighter. His strategic approach minimized overhead costs while maximizing customer acquisition, allowing him to bootstrap the business entirely from its humble beginnings to what has now become 40 franchise locations nationwide.Perhaps most revolutionary is Sam's approach to competition. Rather than viewing other wellness providers as rivals, he built relationships with them, even giving them chapters in his book "How to Win in Modern Wellness." This collaboration-over-competition philosophy stems from his understanding that transforming healthcare requires a united front: "When I have all of my competitors chanting the same thing that I'm chanting, we're going to change the course of medicine."Throughout his journey, faith has been Sam's anchor. From processing trauma as a paramedic to making major business decisions, his relationship with God provides guidance and purpose. This spiritual foundation reinforces his mission to help others take control of their health through the "Make America Healthy Again" movement.Ready to discover how passion, purpose, and strategic relationships can transform both your business and your industry?

6/11/25 - This is the astonishing true story of Blessed Bartolo Longo (1841–1926), a man who descended into darkness as a satanic priest during his years as a law student in Naples—but who was rescued by divine grace and became one of the Church's most fervent promoters of the Holy Rosary. Raised in a devout Catholic family, Bartolo fell away from the faith during his university studies, swept up in the anti-clerical, occult movements of his time. He was ordained a satanic priest and suffered severe depression, paranoia, and spiritual torment. But through the prayers of his family and the guidance of a Dominican priest, Fr. Alberto Radente, Bartolo experienced a miraculous conversion. Devoting his life to penance and reparation, Bartolo dedicated himself to Mary under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary. He helped rebuild the faith of an entire region by bringing the Rosary to the poor in Pompeii, where he founded the now world-famous Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. He also established schools, orphanages, and legal aid for the poor—all as acts of penance and service. Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1980, calling him the “Man of Mary” and a “true lay apostle of the Rosary.”
Father Richard John shares about his journey to the priesthood, the importance of hope and our call to serve and evangelize. Parish of the Week: St. Dominic Parish in Saginaw is our Parish of the Week. Their Parochial Administrator, Fr. Richard John, joins us today!Message from Fr. Richard John – Ordained in 2009, I have now journeyed 16 years as a priest, and I share this reflection as a thanksgiving to the Lord who called me. I come from the Archdiocese of Hyderabad, Telangana, in southern India, and currently serve as the Parochial Administrator at St. Dominic Parish since 2023.Three early influences shaped my vocation: my grandmother Margaret John, whose daily Rosary and devotion to St. Anthony inspired a prayer movement in our neighborhood; my father Aron John, a daily communicant who introduced me to the beauty of the Eucharist; and my first encounter with the story of Mother Teresa, whose radical commitment deeply moved me as a child. These seeds of faith were nurtured by my parish priest, and I joined the seminary in 1998 after 10th grade.Growing up in a joint family of modest means, financial struggles were common. I often joined sports camps at school just for the meals. Yet, through God's providence and support like CFCA sponsorship from Sr. Shirley Ruder, a Dominican nun from Michigan, I could continue my education.Despite health challenges during formation, I experienced healing that confirmed my call. Over the years, I've served in various ministries — from being assistant to the archbishop, to working at St. Anthony's Shrine, teaching, radio ministry, and youth outreach.My path to Saginaw in 2022 was guided by God's providence, facilitated by friends, Fr. Raj, Fr. Bill and Bishop Gruss. I remain grateful to the Lord, the bishop, fellow clergy, and parishioners whose support makes this mission meaningful. Thank you

In the 1930s, infamous Dominican dictator Rafael Truillo ordered the burning of the country's palos drums, hoping to erase the powerful vestiges of African culture in the Dominican Republic. Luckily for us, the breakneck, trance-inducing sound of palos still reverberates at Afro-syncretic religious parties across the Caribbean nation almost a century later. In this episode, Afropop revisits the home of styles such as merengue and bachata, but this time we'll be looking towards the most deeply African side of Dominican music—little known outside of the island. Afro-Dominican music is a secret treasure, filled with virtuosic drumming styles, heart-stopping grooves, and mystic dance parties. We'll listen to traditional genres like palos, salve, and gaga, a uniquely Dominican take on rara music from neighboring Haiti. Throughout, we'll be looking at artists who have drawn on Afro-Dominican styles to make infectious pop music, from wizened veterans of the folklore movement such as Luis Dias, to a host of hip young bands who use Afro-inspired rock, reggae and hip-hop to redefine what it means to be Dominican. We'll also check out the Afro-Dominican scene in New York City—home to more than a half-million Dominicans—where we'll find a Dominican gaga group in Brooklyn that is mending cultural fences at a Haitian celebration.

Harland kicks things off by reminiscing about fingering calamari and the first time someone touched his arse—with a thermometer. Tom shares the traumatic moment he had to show a friend his infamously hairy sphincter... and yes, he ends up showing Harland too. Surprisingly, the conversation spirals into absurd territory with erotic drawings, smut searches, fart-catching attempts, a Dominican dick flash, and a deep dive into Enny's alleged fondness for buttholes. Harland doesn't disappoint either—he reacts to fart videos, tells a story about dating Madonna, and looks forward to tanning with Tom. The two also talk about creativity, recreational drugs, Harland's distrust of nicotine pouches, the anthems of both Canada and Texas, plus playing doctor, and horseshoes with neck pillows. Oh, and Harland names his favorite dictator.

In this powerful and hilarious episode, we sit down with content creator turned TV star Ken Starrrz for a deep dive into his incredible journey from growing up in the Bronx with a Dominican dad and Colombian mom, to becoming one of the most vibrant voices in digital media today. Ken opens up about being a loud, creative kid in a traditional Latino household, getting fired from his last 9-to-5 working in the LGBTQ community, and how that moment pushed him headfirst into content creation. He shares the story of how a personal DM from Diddy led to him landing his own show on REVOLT TV, how Nick Cannon slid into his DMs to bring him on Wild ’N Out, and his thoughts on the importance of creating content that reflects the full spectrum of Latino culture—not just West Coast or Mexican perspectives. We also talk about his community work—food drives, back-to-school events, and giving back to those in need—and his acting debut alongside the late Pop Smoke. Ken gets real about the challenges and triumphs of the industry and what’s next as he works to launch his own scripted TV show that will spotlight underrepresented East Coast Latino voices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
