We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams, but what do we dream of? Thanks to Karla of Brooklyn Chunches, we can dream of a future where we combine traditional Salvadoran styles, textiles, and accessories with modern street and office wear. Inspired by her grandma, Mama Yolanda, Karla brings us little pieces of home to show off our heritage.
You’ve played a couple of shows. You have some original songs in your back pocket. You’re ready to grow, but how? Normandie Records, founded by Erick Sanchez, is an independent record company that strives to help artists navigate the complex music industry. Erick talks to us about the music industry, Somos Arte, and collaborating with creatives in El Salvador.
