Centering Black, Afro, and Afro-indigenous voices.
On Tuesday, November 12, we begin our broadcast of, what we could consider, a second stage of MÁS Conversaciones para MÁS orgullo (More conversations for more pride): A podcast where we use the power of orality, music, and soundscapes to extend our reflections against structural racism, celebrate our identity, and above all, continue in this exercise of community building.
The episodes will premiere every other Tuesday starting this Tuesday, November 12: 2:00 pm (Seattle), 6:00 pm, and 5:00 pm, and 4:00 pm. They are currently available on Spotify and Deezer. People who are in Venezuela; or do not have premium plans; or speak English or Portuguese will be able to access the chapters with subtitles on Youtube. It will soon also be available on the iTunes and Amazon Music platforms.
Don’t miss the first episode:
Sending a warm welcome to everyone connecting to the first episode of MÁS Podcast para MÁS orgullo! In this first episode we share what this space is all about, who is behind it all and why we believe our voices should be amplified. We invite you to get to know us as a team and learn about the roles we play to make possible this podcast that fills us with MÁS pride.
So get ready, because this is just the beginning of a great celebration of our identities.

Who are part of MÁS podcast
Creating and weaving this podcast has been a process that has taken us several months and several hands to reach the production of our first season guided by the production of @DeLaVozLab. The structure of the scripts of each of the episodes are the result of a collaborative work, so we thank: Milvia Pacheco Salvatierra, Rayza De La Hoz Perez, Meyby Ugueto-Ponce, Haydeé Lavariega, Evelyne Laurent Perrault, Minox Minoty, Gemaly Padua Uscanga, Ana Gabriela Cano/Blackmama, Delia Pinto and Anyel Duran.
The soundscape of MÁS podcast is composed of two original tracks from MAS. Oralidades que sanan by Rio Arriba Producciones. A beat that accompanied us during the process of recovering from the pandemic in our program: Más Versadas. And the Eslabón, a collective effort of the MÁS community of artists. A true braiding of the contribution of artists from different origins, teachers and teachers in different Afro-diasporic rhythms. It was recorded in Seattle Washington at the home of each of the musicians during the 2020 quarantine and mixed, edited and mastered by Omar Rojas in Lima Peru.
Learn about the musicians involved in the Eslabón project here. You can listen to the Eslabón live at the Ancestral Whispers performance.
