“I recently moved to Connecticut after living in Texas for a few years, a land that I came to love deeply because it helped me grow and learn. I’ve been very sad lately thinking about all that’s going on down there, and I believe from the bottom of my heart that Texans deserve better. This is a love letter to Texas, and it’s dedicated to all the Chulxs, that taught me patience, joy, care, where to get good tacos de tripa, and how to drop a needle in the right spot. Y’all means all.”
Today, we feature a mix from one of our very own Chulitxs - the tunes come directly from their vinyl collection. This mix comes from Chulita Cienfuegos of Chulita Vinyl Club.
