In season 2’s last episode, we talk to Cathia, an accomplished Salvi singer that has traveled the world and shared the stage with big names like Prince Royce and Jennifer Lopez. She talks to us about her career, her parent’s influence, and growing up Salvadoran in the multicultural neighborhoods of New York City!
In season 2’s episode number 16, Prevail talks to us about breaking, the origins of hip hop and his efforts to highlight Salvadoran culture in something we’ve always been a part of. We also talk about breaking making it into the next Olympic games and why you should never call someone a “break dancer.”
The feeling of not belonging here nor there, a lack of positive representation of Salvadorans is what drove Niko to start Cipotes. A New York City based online community dedicated to uniting Salvadorans and showcasing our accomplishments around the world for over 7 years. In this episode, turn up that pride to eleven, embrace our accomplishments, and show off our positivity with Niko from Cipotes.
What do you think about when you think about New York? Odds are hip hop, b-boys, and graffiti come to mind. Salvador is as much Salvadoran as he is a New Yorker and capturing life on the streets with his camera is his passion. Grab your old-timey film camera, hop on the 7 train, and keep your eyes open for the perfect city shot in this photo session with Salvador Espinoza.
Join us in Queens at Finback Brewery for our Salvadoran cultural and networking meetup. Mingle, network, and celebrate our El Salvador roots!
