Judy Torres, the legendary Queen of Freestyle, joins Honey German for a powerful, deeply personal conversation about her extraordinary life, groundbreaking music career and revealing new memoir, No Reason to Cry. In this episode, Judy reflects on her upbringing, entering the music industry as a young woman, signing her first record deal and becoming one of the most recognizable voices in freestyle music. Honey also surprises Judy with one of her early vinyl records, leading to an emotional story about the first time Judy saw herself as beautiful. She opens up about being called the Queen of Freestyle, how she earned the title and whether she has fully embraced it. The conversation goes far beyond music. Judy shares why she wrote 'No Reason to Cry' entirely in her own voice, without a ghostwriter or artificial intelligence, and takes us inside the emotional process of revisiting her past. She also discusses her current book tour, special appearances and this exciting new chapter of her life. With remarkable honesty, Judy speaks about depression, living with multiple sclerosis, losing vision in one eye and only partially regaining it, surviving domestic abuse. These difficult experiences are explored with care, compassion and the intention of helping anyone who may be navigating pain, trauma, illness or uncertainty. What begins as an interview becomes an inspiring life-coaching session led by Judy Torres and co-hosted by Honey German. Together, they discuss healing, self-worth, resilience, faith, forgiveness, setting boundaries and finding the strength to keep moving forward. This is more than the story of a freestyle icon. It is a conversation about surviving, rebuilding and learning to see your own beauty, even after life has given you every reason to cry. Born and raised in the Bronx, Judy proudly represents her Puerto Rican and Cuban roots. Since the 1980s, she has built an enduring career as a singer, songwriter, producer, radio host, author and life coach.

Bad Bunny has had a busy week, with new recognition, political attention, legal developments, and another major fashion collaboration making headlines. At the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Bad Bunny won Best Latin for “NUEVAYoL,” a track from his Puerto Rican-focused album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. He was not at the ceremony, and has not publicly explained his absence. The award follows a highly successful world tour that ended with additional performances in San Juan in August. The song's celebration of New York's Puerto Rican identity has also helped keep Bad Bunny's broader cultural message in the spotlight. The album blends contemporary urbano with salsa, plena, bolero, and jíbaro influences, and “NUEVAYoL” incorporates elements associated with classic Puerto Rican music. Another major story involves Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. His campaign released a Portuguese adaptation of Bad Bunny's “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” in a video promoting Brazilian sovereignty and criticizing outside pressure from the United States. The rewritten lyrics refer to rivers, beaches, and rare-earth minerals. Agence France-Presse reported that the campaign version had attracted nearly seven million social-media views. There is conflicting reporting over authorization. TVT News said Bad Bunny's team authorized the use, while AFP reported that a Workers' Party source said the artist had not granted rights. Bad Bunny himself has not been publicly reported as endorsing Lula's campaign. The original song examines cultural displacement, gentrification, tourism, and the fear that Puerto Rico could lose control of its identity and territory. In legal news, Digital Music News reports that the long-running “Frankenstein” reggaeton copyright case is continuing. Plaintiffs are asking a judge to reconsider a ruling that favored Bad Bunny on part of the dispute. A hearing on that request is tentatively expected in late October. Fashion followers are also watching Bad Bunny's ongoing partnership with Adidas. Design Scene reports that a new Gazelle Indoor “Solar Gold” colorway is expected in October, with a reported retail price of 140 dollars. The bright yellow-and-black design follows other recent releases, including Badbo models that arrived in late September. Bad Bunny's influence therefore remains visible across music, politics, entertainment law, and fashion, even as he appears to be taking time away from the spotlight after his tour.

This is the noon All Local for Monday, September 28, 2026

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known worldwide as Bad Bunny, made headlines this week after authorizing Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's reelection campaign to adapt his song “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.” The campaign released a Portuguese version on social media, reshaping the song's themes of cultural identity, territory, and foreign influence into a message about Brazilian sovereignty and criticism of outside political pressure. The artist's team confirmed that permission was granted, although the recording is not performed by Bad Bunny. The use of the song follows Lula's speech at the United Nations, where he criticized foreign interference and defended national self-determination. Brazilian outlets G1 and EFE reported that the campaign's adaptation also targets opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his relationship with the United States. The development has drawn attention because a song rooted in Puerto Rican history and concerns about displacement is now being used in a major Brazilian election. Bad Bunny also reached another major streaming milestone. According to Dork, “VeLDÁ,” his collaboration with Dei V and Omar Courtz, surpassed one billion Spotify streams this week. It became Bad Bunny's 36th song to reach Spotify's Billions Club, extending his lead over The Weeknd, who has 31 billion-streaming tracks. The milestone is also the first for both Dei V and Omar Courtz. In legal news, the long-running copyright case involving what plaintiffs call “Frankenstein” reggaeton is continuing. Digital Music News reports that the plaintiffs are asking a judge to reconsider a ruling that favored Bad Bunny and other defendants. A hearing on the reconsideration request is tentatively expected in late October, so the dispute remains active rather than resolved. Fashion fans also had a new release to follow. Bad Bunny and Adidas launched two Badbo models on September 26: the navy Badbo 1.0, priced at 160 dollars, and the lower-cut Badbo 1.1 in chalk white, priced at 120 dollars. Complex and Men's Journal reported that the shoes were released through Adidas and Complex, with the 1.1 receiving an app-focused release in the United States. That combination of political influence, streaming success, an ongoing legal battle, and another Adidas launch keeps Bad Bunny at the center of music and popular culture this week.

Bad Bunny remains in the spotlight this week through streaming milestones, touring records, fashion, and a growing debate over artificial intelligence in music. On September 22, music publication Dork reported that VeLDÁ, his collaboration with Dei V and Omar Courtz, surpassed one billion Spotify streams. It is Bad Bunny's 36th song to reach that mark, extending his lead as the artist with the most billion-streaming tracks on the platform. The achievement is also a first Billions Club entry for both Dei V and Omar Courtz. His Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour is also being recognized as one of the biggest concert runs of the year. Pollstar's latest third-quarter analysis says the tour generated 438.6 million dollars from 3.1 million tickets sold across Latin America, Australia, and Europe through the end of August. Madrid's Riyadh Air Metropolitano was the tour's biggest venue success, with more than 639,000 fans attending ten shows. Bad Bunny's partnership with Adidas is preparing another release. Sneaker News and Hypebeast report that the Badbo 1.0 Puerto Rican Night, also called Night Navy, arrives September 26 for 160 dollars. The design uses multiple shades of blue, suede and nylon panels, and embroidery inspired by the Puerto Rican flag. The release continues the artist's practice of connecting his fashion projects with Puerto Rican identity. Another major conversation involves unauthorized artificial-intelligence music. The Hill and the University of Florida reported that Bad Bunny previously reacted to a viral TikTok track featuring an artificial clone of his voice, along with imitation verses associated with Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber. The reports also cite an investigation indicating that AI training datasets may have included millions of recordings, including Bad Bunny's catalog, without permission or compensation. The story places his earlier criticism within the larger dispute over artists' rights and payment in the age of generative music. Social media attention this week has also revived an older video featuring Bad Bunny and Residente joking about Mexican singer Aleks Syntek. Mexican outlet La Razón said the clip resurfaced as Syntek trended after an uncomfortable Independence Day performance. The renewed circulation appears to be a social-media discussion rather than a new collaboration or announcement involving Bad Bunny. For now, the week's strongest developments are measurable: another billion-streaming track, one of the year's highest-grossing tours, and a Puerto Rico-inspired Adidas release arriving this weekend.

We're auditing the hidden maritime highway of fat, acid, and raw heat connecting the American Gulf Coast straight to the Atlantic territories—where North Alabama pitmasters dunk whole hickory-smoked birds into black-peppered cider-mayo baths, and Puerto Rican street vendors weaponized the exact same industrial emulsion into garlicky Salsa Rosada to anchor every hot fritter in Piñones. Further west, Greek-owned Mississippi diners engineered Comeback Sauce as an addictive, paprika-heavy hospitality trap, while island cooks deep in the Cordillera Central relied on sizzling hot-oil Mojo Criollo to shock raw garlic into roasted pork perfection. To round out the coast, St. Croix turned Danish trade routes, Indian spices, and wild green mangoes into a blistering, sweet-sour Crucian chutney that cuts through whole-fried reef fish like a precision scalpel.---Follow us:Twitter / X: @LTSundryInstagram: @LTS.PodYouTube: Life, Tech, and Sundry (Subscribe and hit the bell!)Available across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.---☕ SUPPORT THE BRIEFINGS:Researching these regional recipes and tracking culinary infrastructure runs on a dangerous amount of caffeine.

Bad Bunny has spent the past week reinforcing his status as both a cultural powerhouse and a business innovator, with headlines touching fashion, awards, touring strategy, money, and the broader future of Latin music. On the fashion and brand side, Hypebeast reports that Bad Bunny and adidas just unveiled the Badbo 1.0 “Puerto Rican Night,” a new navy-and-light-blue colorway of his signature sneaker that drops September 26 for around $160, revisiting his original silhouette as the line transitions to the updated Badbo 1.1 model. SneakerNews adds that this “Puerto Rican Night” release has been quietly appearing on retailer calendars and is positioned as another major moment in his long-running adidas partnership. Awards coverage this week has focused on how his Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show is now the most Emmy-decorated halftime performance ever. Yahoo Entertainment notes that the show has picked up seven Emmys across categories like outstanding variety special (live), directing, music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction, and camerawork, making Bad Bunny a first-time Emmy winner and putting his performance ahead of the 2022 hip-hop–heavy halftime show in total awards. In the industry press, Forbes is being cited in multiple outlets for a deeper look at how megastars such as Harry Styles are following Bad Bunny's lead in using residency-style runs—long stays in a single city—before expanding to full global tours. This “residency-first” strategy, highlighted as one of Bad Bunny's key touring innovations, is framed as a way to maximize revenue, reduce travel strain, and build tourism around a city while still delivering stadium-level shows. Touring and money stories continue beyond that. El Intransigente reports that Bad Bunny's fortune has reached around $100 million at age 31, crediting his massive world tour, extensive brand deals, and digital streams. The Orlando Sentinel recently ran a commentary tying this success to Puerto Rico's musical legacy, noting that his all-Spanish album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS is in the race for Album, Record, and Song of the Year at the Grammys and that his 2026 tour pushed his career touring revenue past the billion-dollar mark, making him the first Latin artist to hit that milestone and underlining how global audiences embrace his unapologetically Puerto Rican sound. Family and fashion also crept into the conversation this week. Ground News, summarizing Brazilian outlet Globo, points out that his brother Bernie Martínez Ocasio has been turning heads at New York Fashion Week, walking several shows and drawing attention for his striking resemblance to Bad Bunny, with social media dubbing them “twins” and discussing how the entire Martínez Ocasio family is stepping into the spotlight. Social and streaming stats continue to show his reach. Chartmetric's latest update, refreshed September 20, notes roughly 53.5 million Instagram followers, 41.5 million TikTok followers, more than 123 million Spotify followers, and over 53 million YouTube subscribers, with hundreds of millions of monthly video views. TikTok tracking by Crawlora echoes those numbers on his official account, highlighting that even when he posts sparingly, his presence drives enormous engagement. Bad Bunny is also being pulled into broader cultural and political narratives. The New York Post, in a piece about U.S. campaign tactics, references how his name gets invoked to attract crowds, underscoring the perception that a Bad Bunny appearance can transform any event's draw. Meanwhile, The Hill uses his reaction to an AI-generated song in his cloned voice—“Demo 5: Nostalgia,” mixing fake verses from him, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber—to anchor a debate about AI and Latin music. According to that report, Bad Bunny told fans in his WhatsApp channel that anyone who enjoyed the track should leave, and investigative pieces have found his catalog inside massive AI training datasets assembled without authorization, fueling ongoing lawsuits from major labels against AI music platforms. On the music side, older hits stay present in pop culture. German broadcaster Joyn features a contestant on The Voice of Germany taking on his track Tití Me Preguntó, noting that the song has crossed a billion views on YouTube and remains one of the most hyped and technically challenging reggaeton tracks to perform on television. Across all of this, the story of the week is that Bad Bunny isn't slowing down: new sneaker drops, record-breaking awards for a halftime show, pioneering touring formats, expanding family visibility in fashion, and front-line involvement in the fight over AI and artist rights. His numbers suggest he remains one of the most influential artists on earth, and press from Latin America, the U.S., and Europe are treating him as a central figure in where global music is headed next.

Salsa ICON Tito Nieves takes us back to the beginning of his career and shares personal memories of working with Héctor Lavoe, an artist he loved and deeply admired. He also explains why he believes El Cantante, the film starring Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, focused too heavily on the darker parts of Lavoe’s life and failed to show who Héctor truly was beyond his struggles. The conversation also explores the lasting impact of “I Like It Like That,” including Tito’s version of the classic and its revival by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin. Tito shares his thoughts on today’s rising salsa singers and reveals which new-generation artists he believes are helping carry the genre forward. You may recognize a few of their names from previous episodes of Gracias, Come Again! Beyond the music, Tito opens up about love, four marriages, and the happiness he has found with his current wife, who is also his business partner. He speaks candidly about addiction, going to rehab four times, and reaching 30 years of sobriety. Drawing from his own recovery journey, he offers heartfelt advice and encouragement to anyone struggling with addiction.

Bad Bunny has spent the past week turning a Super Bowl performance into a full‑blown awards and business milestone, while still dominating global streaming and social media. According to Yahoo Entertainment, his Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show just made Emmy history, winning seven Creative Arts Emmys, including outstanding variety special live, music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction and camerawork. The show is now the most‑awarded Super Bowl halftime performance ever, and it gave him his first Emmy as both lead performer and executive producer. Outlets like RRI in Indonesia and 25 Years Later recap the same story as a historic breakthrough for a Spanish‑language halftime show. Billboard reporting through Yahoo notes that when the Primetime Emmys totals are counted, The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Starring Bad Bunny stands among the top programs of the year with seven awards overall, putting a televised concert performance in the same awards conversation as major scripted series. Latin Times highlights that the show, performed entirely in Spanish back in February at Levi's Stadium, has now surpassed the previous record of three Emmys for a halftime show. On social media, the official Bad Bunny HQ account on X has been flexing those numbers, pointing out that more than 423 days after his last release he is still number one on Spotify's Daily Top Artists Global chart. That post has drawn millions of views and plenty of fan debate, with listeners framing him as proof that a Latin artist can sit at the very top of global streaming without constant new releases. Industry analytics from Chartmetric this week still place him near the top of global popularity rankings, with tens of millions of followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X and over a hundred million followers on Spotify. Those dashboards show daily video views in the tens of millions, underscoring that his catalog continues to function like a new release cycle even in a relatively quiet period for fresh music. Financial press in Argentina such as El Intransigente has been revisiting his business story in light of the Emmy wins and touring numbers, estimating his net worth around 100 million dollars at the start of 2026 and stressing that his fortune has roughly doubled within a year, driven by global tours, brand partnerships and streaming royalties. Other evaluations cited there put him slightly lower, but the broader narrative is that a 31‑year‑old reggaeton star now sits in the same wealth conversations as longtime Anglo pop giants. The sports and music crossover continues with Super Bowl chatter for next year: Latin Times reports that, after Bad Bunny's record‑setting show, rumor mill stories are already circulating about potential 2027 headliners like Justin Bieber or Harry Styles, underscoring how quickly the league and Roc Nation move to follow up a blockbuster Latin halftime set with another global pop name. Fashion and lifestyle media have kept pace too. Athlon Sports and sneaker blogs outline the launch of the Adidas x Bad Bunny BadBo 1.1 “Chalk White” sneaker, released September 15. The shoe updates his earlier BadBo 1.0 with a lower profile, reworked heel branding, and a lower price point, signaling that his collaboration with Adidas remains active and carefully refreshed even without an album rollout. On the music side, new mashups and extended edits featuring his tracks keep appearing on DJ pool sites; recent uploads include reworks of Yo Perreo Sola and older collaborations, showing how his catalog still anchors club‑focused Latin sets even while listeners wait for a new solo single. Discovery platforms like Shazam have logged Baile Inolvidable still charting around the 70s in recent days, another sign of steady ongoing traction. Awards season in Latin music is also keeping his name front and center. Puerto Rican daily El Nuevo Día notes that Bad Bunny is among the main finalists for Artist of the Year at the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards, with Puerto Rico heavily represented across categories. Those nominations reflect chart performance through the past year and position him as a favorite at a show that will arrive just months after his Emmy sweep. Mainstream European press such as El País even uses his recent stadium runs as a benchmark when previewing other artists' multi‑date residencies, suggesting that in Spain and beyond, promoters now measure Latin tour ambition against the kind of numbers Bad Bunny has already posted. So for listeners, the story this week is not about a surprise new track; it is about consolidation. Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show is now officially the most decorated halftime performance in Emmy history, his business profile is being recalculated upward, his sneaker line is evolving, his catalog is still dominating streaming, and his name sits at the center of both awards lists and stadium‑tour expectations worldwide.

In this warm and wide–ranging episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes back two guest authors whose books celebrate culture, compassion, and kids with big feelings. First, Jy de la Vega returns to share her new early reader graphic novel, "Annalise: The Special Dish." Inspired by her own daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, J's story follows Annalise as she tries to create a "special" recipe for a school party. Along the way—through tostones, mofongo, and finally pasteles—Annalise discovers that what truly makes something special isn't how fancy it is or how different it looks, but the people you make it with. J talks about the power of Puerto Rican food, family, and community, and why it's critical for children of color, especially Hispanic kids, to see themselves reflected positively in books. She also shares how her work has evolved from simply giving her kids mirrors to speaking honestly, gently, and hopefully to her whole community. Then, Jed is joined by Victoria Smith, author of "Liliana's Match: Finding Bella – How Animals Help with ADHD and Anxiety in Kids." Inspired by her daughter's beloved beagle, Bella, and grounded in research on animals and mental health, Victoria's picture book shows how a shelter dog helps a child with ADHD feel calmer, more understood, and more connected. Victoria, a longtime educator, explains how pets can bring structure, responsibility, and emotional regulation into kids' lives, and why empathy, adoption, and giving back to others lie at the heart of her stories.

Bad Bunny is in the news this week for a major awards milestone: his Super Bowl LX halftime show won seven Emmy Awards at the Creative Arts Emmys, giving Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio his first Emmy and putting him halfway to EGOT status, according to Rolling Stone and multiple other outlets covering the Sept. 5–6 ceremony. The performance was recognized across live variety special, directing, music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, and technical direction/camerawork, making it the most awarded Super Bowl halftime show in Emmy history. The biggest current story is that the show's Emmy sweep has turned into a broader industry moment. Rolling Stone reported that the halftime special set a new record for the most Emmys ever won by a halftime show, while other coverage noted that Bad Bunny's name is now being discussed alongside elite awards-company territory because Emmy is now on his list with Grammy wins already in hand. Several reports also noted that he was not present at the ceremony, but the recognition was still framed as a career-defining achievement. Another important development involves his Puerto Rico impact. El Nuevo Día reported that the closing concerts tied to his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS tour delivered a bigger economic boost to Puerto Rico than his 2025 residency, with Visa analysis showing transactions during the finale up 11% versus the same period in 2025. That keeps Bad Bunny not just in music headlines but also in business and cultural coverage, where his live performances are being tracked as major economic events. There is also ongoing music-law attention around him. A recent report from KJWL said he scored a significant victory in the long-running copyright case over the dembow rhythm, after a judge reversed an earlier decision that would have sent the dispute to trial. The case has implications far beyond Bad Bunny because it touches reggaeton's foundational beat and whether a broad genre pattern can be controlled through copyright claims. On social and entertainment platforms, the conversation this week has centered on his Emmy win, his Super Bowl performance, and what the record haul means for his next awards season. The overall tone is that Bad Bunny is having a rare crossover week: music history, TV history, and Puerto Rican cultural influence all hitting at once.

I'm Wilfred Rodríguez, a seven-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico, and based in Washington, DC. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production from the Art Institute of Washington, where I received the Academic Excellence in Filmmaking Award. I began my professional career producing commercials and promotional content for Univision Washington, DC, where I also worked as a cinematographer and editor on documentaries and news packages. My narrative work includes writing and directing the short films An Evil Mind (2016), Rock Creek (2019), and A Night in December (2021), as well as directing the music video PepperCola (2021) for the Maryland based band The FATO Company. In 2020, I directed the Vote No campaign for Puerto Rico's general election in collaboration with BUDPR. I'm currently developing multiple narrative projects, including When We Were Young, an LGBTQ coming-of-age drama, and Old Colchester Bridge, a feature inspired by the Fairfax County Bunny man legend. FOTM Quote: “While I'm a proud Puerto Rican, DC is the place that adopted me and allowed me to grow as a storyteller. Being recognized by OCTFME is an honor that reinforces my commitment to creating work grounded in community, memory, and identity.”

Fat Joe defends using the N-word by citing his Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage, South Bronx upbringing, and deep roots in hip-hop culture, reigniting a broader debate over race, identity, and cultural permission. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From a fiery culture debate to an eyebrow-raising election promise, this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivers the headlines everyone will be talking about. The crew weighs in after Fat Joe defended using the N-word by pointing to his Puerto Rican and Cuban roots, his upbringing in the South Bronx, and his lifelong connection to the birthplace of hip-hop—a claim that reignited debate about race, cultural belonging, and who has permission to use the term. Chris Rock also says he would return to the Oscars only as a nominee while promoting his new directorial effort, Misty Green, and reflecting on how the 2022 ceremony continues to overshadow his work. The celebrity conversation continues as DDG describes a brief encounter with Sanaa Lathan in which she took a photo but quickly turned away, leaving him feeling unacknowledged, while the cast wonders whether she was simply busy or unfamiliar with him. In politics, the team reacts to Donald Trump’s promise of a $5,000 “Trump dividend” for every adult citizen if Republicans retain both chambers of Congress; the proposal would require congressional approval and could cost more than $1 trillion. Family-law attorney Cynthia Halls rounds out the episode with practical guidance on child support, custody, court orders, co-parenting, and Georgia’s new mandatory parenting-time adjustments, which now connect scheduled overnights directly to support calculations.

Vanessa Aspillaga (Dora Saves the Snow Princess, Leave the World Behind) stars in this Puerto Rican and Chilean tale about baby basil, cuddly kittens, and how two heads can be better than one. This Circle Round episode originally was released on April 2, 2024. Sign up for our monthly newsletter, "The Lion's Roar", here.

In today's episode, Claire meets with Angel D. Santiago-Vendrell to talk about his book Justo L. Gonzalez: Missionary of Hispanic Theology in the United States. Two of celebrated Hispanic theologian Justo L. González's major works,  The Story of Christianity and  A History of Christian Thought, continue to be used as primary textbooks in undergraduate and seminary programs throughout the United States. But few of his literary students and admirers know the details of his biography, in particular the significance of his contribution to the emergence of Hispanic theology in the United States during the past five decades.In this biography, Angel Santiago-Vendrell gives fresh attention to González's role in a rapidly changing theological landscape. Born in Cuba in 1937 and profoundly shaped by the "revolutionary decade" of the 1950s, González studied theology at Yale, Basel, and Strasbourg, where he encountered George Lindbeck, Karl Barth, and Yves Congar. He became good friends with Martin Luther King, Jr., during the 1960s while teaching at the Evangelical Seminary in Puerto Rico. He later went on to serve at Candler School of Theology and then to take various denominational positions in the United Methodist Church. His work for the Fund for Theological Education led to the creation of the Hispanic Theological Initiative in 1998. Although González is best known as a prolific author, Santiago-Vendrell argues that his most enduring contribution to Western Christianity is as a pioneer in Hispanic theology.González's story reveals new strategies for the advancement of Hispanic people, the largest ethnic/racial minority in the United States but with the lowest proportion of educated leaders, pastors, and professors. His example of perseverance in Christian vocation calls Hispanic believers to remember and reignite their witness. Santiago-Vendrell presents González's life and work as embodying a missional passion rooted in the gospel of incarnation, of God's work in history. This incarnational theology is the center of an unwavering commitment in González's life to equip and unite Christians in their proclamation of the faith. This painstaking engagement with and for the church—Hispanic and otherwise—continues to bear much fruit.Dr. Angel D. Santiago-Vendrell is a professor ofworld Christianity and witness. He was born and raised in Puerto Rico and came to faith in Christ at the age of nineteen after hearing a sermon by Rev. Ludy González, a Puerto Rican female Pentecostal pastor. He served as a youth pastorand assistant pastor in Puerto Rico, and as senior pastor of Iglesia Metodista Unida San Andres in Jamaica Plains, MA, for three years.  Before coming to Truett, from 2008 to 2010, he was an assistant professor of mission studies at Memphis Theological Seminary, and from 2010 to 2023, he served as the E. Stanley Jones associate professor of evangelism at Asbury Theological Seminary, Orlando Campus. Dr. Santiago-Vendrell is passionate about missionary historiography, especially biographical studies, and how those stories could shape current Christian practices that aretransforming and liberating. He also enjoys surfing, playing basketball, and building Star Wars Lego. He lives in the Waco area with his wife, Misoon Im, and their two sons.

Six-time GRAMMY-nominated artist Luis Figueroa joins Gracias, Come Again to talk salsa, Puerto Rican culture, family, and his journey from YouTube covers to becoming one of the genre’s brightest stars. Luis shares how posting covers online led to being discovered by Marc Anthony, who became a major mentor in his career, and opens up about touring with Romeo Santos, where he fully embraced the Spanish language and went from not being fluent or confident speaking it to becoming fluent and even more connected to his culture. We also revisit the moment Honey first discovered Luis performing in the Bronx alongside the legendary La India, singing her iconic duet originally recorded with Marc Anthony. Luis talks about keeping salsa alive for a new generation, his Puerto Rican roots, songwriting, family, and why carrying the culture forward means so much to him. This is a conversation about music, identity, language, legacy, and why Luis Figueroa is no longer just considered the future of salsa, he is very much part of its present.
