This episode begins at SOB's in downtown Manhattan, with Latin Grammy winners Orishas, a Cuban hip-hop band whose work expresses their musical and cultural heritage, while always remaining faithful to their political views of protest and social struggle.
Then we go to the cozy McNally-Jackson Books in Soho, where Carmen Boullosa interviews Bill Santiago, during the launching of his book "Pardon My Spanglish". This New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent speaks of the virtues of Spanglish, which he defends as a new language.
And, finally we go to Brooklyn to visit Guatemalan artist Juan Carlos Pinto. Through his community-based art and other projects this painter, muralist and political activist of Maya-Chorti origin seeks, among other things, to promote the rights of undocumented Latinos in the U.S.
