The Mid-South Bugalu Podcast
Welcome to The Mid-South Bugalu Podcast! A podcast that serves as an educational, creative, informative, and intellectual space for African-Americans and Latinos (Hispanic-Americans, Latinx) alike! This is an effort to encourage unity, peace, knowledge, and creativity, in the spirit of Latin-Boogaloo, a crossover music genre from the 1960's era in New York. I wanted to make a safe space for African-Americans and Latinos, two groups that I'm a part of; my father being African-American from Brooklyn, New York and my late mother being Afro-Costa Rican..these two groups that I have A LOT of love for and that I'm proud to be a part of to learn more about each other and continue on this historical collaboration.

Episode 10
Hey guys! This episode features a conversation between me and my dear friend Fábio Mariano! He is a ballet dancer for Collage Dance Collective, an organization in Memphis that has brought ballet to people of color, vastly changing the culture around ballet. Mariano is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and has lived in Memphis for 6 years. Both he and I talk about ballet, dance & gender, racism in Brazil, parallels of Afro Brazilian culture and African American culture, and the recent Lula election. It was great to have him on the show! Obrigado!
This is the last interview episode of season 1! As always thank you all for your support!
