About

El Entremedio is a digital repository of my curatorial, creative, and critical work, spanning music and music histories, processes of identity- and place-making, and broader histories of cultural expression and transmission. 

​

In the past, I hosted a show called 'First Class Airfare' on KRRC, Reed College's radio station. Now, I broadcast as 'El Entremedio' on KBOO, every 3rd and 5th Thursday from 12:08pm to 2pm. You can find my playlists on this website. 

​

These shows have explored themes spanning from individual musical genre, geographic, and abstract ideas such as cross-cultural exchange across the Atlantic. My goal is to provide meaningful cultural and political context to diverse, engaging forms of musical expression. I put together playlists in the hope to place music in conversation with itself as cultural text. This includes questions like: How does music engage in and complicate community and identity making? What power does music have? For who?

​

Beyond this, this website hosts writing from research projects on Chicano Soul music and Uruguayan Candombe, which focus on music and genre as tools of identity-making, and claims to political power.
