Democracy Café

Rock and Latin music writer and curator Isabela Raygoza has opened my world to an array of artists and great music that I otherwise would not be privy to. She provides vistas, contexts and perspectives that help me and many others see how this rich artistry both stems from and drives American democracy, identity, and greater gender equality at this critical moment. I once had the honor of having Isabela as a student of mine when I was professor of the graduate Thesis Writing course for the Department of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University. She has gone on to do great things, including writing regularly for publications like Rolling Stone, Remezcla and VICE. Listen in as Isabela shares her compelling take on the music and democracy scene.
