On this musical episode of Tamarindo, we talk to Mariposas Galácticas, an eight-piece Philadelphia-based band that brings together cumbia, klezmer, punk, and Indigenous Andean musical traditions. They share how friendship, ancestry, activism, and community shape their genre-defying sound—and how their music creates space for dancing, resistance, and “rebellious joy.”After that, we speak to Mexico City–born, Los Angeles–based singer-songwriter Andrea Bejar, to discuss her highly anticipated debut album, In Bloom (releasing October 2nd), her journey as a bilingual artist, and her evolution in the music industry.
