We start this episode catching up on the LA mayoral race, housing prices in LA, and why we're not feeling great about the nature of debates. Next, on this musical episode of Tamarindo, we  talk to Mariposas Galácticas, an eight-piece Philadelphia-based band that brings together cumbia, klezmer, punk, and Indigenous Andean musical traditions. They share how friendship, ancestry, activism, and community shape their genre-defying sound—and how their music creates space for dancing, resistance, and “rebellious joy.” After that, we  speak to Mexico City–born, Los Angeles–based singer-songwriter Andrea Bejar, to discuss her highly anticipated debut album, In Bloom (releasing October 2nd), her journey as a bilingual artist, and her evolution in the music industry.   Sources mentioned: Imperfect Paradise episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/imperfect-paradise-most-californians-dont-own-a/id1516664274?i=1000784833010 Latinas and Maternal Mental Health: https://policycentermmh.org/latina-and-hispanic-maternal-mental-health-issue-brief/ STILL TIME TO JOIN MIDDLE RAGED!!
