This episode features the monologue 'Super Barretto' by Nelson Diaz-Marcano, performed by Hiram Delgado and inspired by the life of Puerto Rican American percussionist and bandleader Raymundo 'Ray' Barretto Pagán.
ICONS is a podcast series of personal monologues based on figures from the Harlem Renaissance curated and directed by CTH’s literary director, Shawn Rene Graham and developed by The Classical Theatre of Harlem in partnership with Venus Radio Theater. The 2nd season focuses on Hispanic and Latinx voices. ICONS 2: El Barrio Lives! explores the rich history of East Harlem, by commissioning four writers of Latinx descent to breathe life into lesser known figures from Latin America and the Caribbean, whose impact on the Harlem community from the early part of the 20th century resonates today.
