A badass of Latinx art history and one half of the LWL podcast, Babelito is a barrel of laughs and a huge sweetheart. While in NYC on some art-related biz, Babelito was gracious enough to pass through the studio and discuss one of his favorite topics: Café Tacvba. And boy do we go in!

With the exception of a cover by Gepe, this episode is wall to wall Cafeta and discussions on how the band helped shape Mexico's modern musical identity. On top of that we talk podcast shop, and Beverly's and Babelito's forgotten Vegas history, all of course, with a healthy side of mess. Enjoy, y nos vemos en el mosh pit!

Episode 103: La Virgen de Guadalupe Dec 13, 2018

Show notes

Latinos Who Lunch are back this week to celebrate la patrona de las Americas, la Virgen de Guadalupe. The tilma, or cloth on which the image of the Virgin appeared is housed in the Basilica of Mexico City and it is believed to have been a creation from God, appearing miraculously to Juan Diego 500 years ago. Babelito dissects this highly venerated image to better understand its place in Latinx popular imaginary. FavyFav relates the ways in which he has engaged with the image given his religious upbringing and the way contemporary artists have used what is perhaps the most important painting ever created in the Americas. Listen as they both dissect history and dismantle some popular myths behind this important art work.
