En la cuna misma de nuestra cultura, los salvadoreños aún nos seguimos preguntando: ¿quiénes somos? Amaru, conductor de Proyecto Chachalaca, explora esta pregunta a través de la historia, la música, la ciencia, y mucho más.
Por décadas la presencia Salvadoreña en Yonkers crecía pero no se veía. Armando Rivas, con la ayuda de la comunidad hispana en Yonkers, dio el primer paso y formo el Group Salvadoreño de Yonkers. Marchan en desfiles, disfrutan en eventos, y ayudan a nuestra comunidad en la cuarta ciudad mas grande en Nueva York. Armando y el grupo esperan unir toda la comunidad centroamericana en el condado de Westchester y mas allá.
Montreal based Salvadoran hip-hop artists Tony Dez and Chellz have been through a lot. Their family’s journey to the Great North inspires them to write deep and personal music that speaks to the soul of the Salvadoran Diaspora. Their work recognizes the trauma and strength of our community and celebrates our heritage with Latin-infused hip-hop.
During the Salvadoran Civil War, being a teacher meant you were risking your life. Professor Stephanie Huezo talks to us about doing research in Latin America, popular education during the war, and how these ideas cross the border and impact organizing efforts in the United States.
In the conclusion of our season finale, we continue our journey around the world to meet more Salvadorans. This time we listen to stories in English. We travel to Australia, Singapore, Finland, the United Kingdom, and Spain. Salvadorans are a global community and it’s about time we connect to our cousins beyond the United States.
