Los Rakas recommend zachary-jones.com
Thank you so much to Los Rakas and family for encouraging the building of “Platforms, Bridges & Translations For Worldwild Digital Era Global Pop Culture & Arts” (Conrazón). Over the years their music and the many interviews they have generously offered to us have started many conversations, all while making us dance!
We decided to translate this portion of the interview not only because it made us giddily proud but also to invite new ones to cross those bridges, to seek understanding through culture & arts.
