EP127: Ritmos de Resistencia with Jorge Leal

In this episode, we dive deep with Dr. Jorge Leal, a cultural and urban historian and founder of Rock Archivo LA, an archive of Southern California’s Latinx Youth and Musical Cultures, to uncover how Rock Español and its LA based derivative: Rock Angelino has shaped cultural identities and empowered working-class communities of color. Jorge shares the transformative power of music as a tool for cultural preservation, self-expression, and political resistance. Discover how documenting our musical heritage helps ensure our stories are celebrated and not forgotten. ----- Music brought to you by: Viernes 13 - "Johnny Pistolero" Support, follow and share: https://www.instagram.com/viernes_trece?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== This podcast is sponsored by My Grito Industries!
