We begin today's show in Astoria, Queens,where we will learn about the latest work of the Uruguayan pianist and composer Gustavo Casenave. In collaboration with his wife, painter Vicky Barranguet, Gustavo has released in New York the show Tango Casenave, a stage production that combines different forms of art and where the common denominator is tango.
Then we will briefly stop at Baruch College, to have a look at the conference organized by CUNY and the Mexican Consulate to talk about the hot issues for the Mexican community in New York, like the Dream Act, a legislative proposal that would grant residency to thousands of undocumented students.
Later, in Manhattan, Patricio Lerzundi meets Mara Henríquez, Community Services Supervisor in YAI, an organization that for over 50 years has helped people with disabilities. We will also learn the story of María Aler-Reyes, mother of Randy, an 18-year-old boy that from the age of two has taken part in training and support programs provided by this organization.
We will finish the show in Maya and Juan's kitchen. They will talk about their experiences after identifying themselves as part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and gender non-conforming community, also known as LGBTQ.
From there, we pop in to learn about the work of Make the Road New York in Brooklyn and Queens, and about their political and social campaigns supporting this community.
