Our Future

Magazine features Indigenous Kogi of Tayrona Colombia (Baciu Dan/Dreamstime)
These children are Indigenous Kogi of Tayrona Colombia (Baciu Dan/Dreamstime). What kind of future are we leaving them?

The further we have gone into this project, the more we realize that we are working for our shared future. In the United States, many of us have lost touch with our heritage.

The Colonial Period was World War Zero. Non-Europeans were stripped of our identity and forced to abandon our own cultures. In the last 50 years, industrial civilization has been destroying the only Earth we have. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken away a generation of elders who were the keepers of our heritage.

Culture is more important than ever. We want our children to know who they are because culture is the one thing that makes us human.

The best New York life is one where we celebrate each other. Celebrate with us because life is a carnival. ¡Azúcar!


Soy LatinoAmérica

When we started this project over a decade ago, we never expected to represent the Caribbean and Latin America. Wow. It’s a great honor and a big responsibility.

Calle 13’s “LatinoAmérica” featuring Totó La Momposina. My bomba teacher Héctor “Coco” Barez was the percussionist.

If you tell us to go home, we’re not sure where that is anymore. But they say that home is where the heart is, and our heart is somewhere around here.

Dios te bendiga
¡Aché!
