Los Angeles-based Chicano band Las Cafeteras joins us in studio for an interview and performance. The band has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “a uniquely Angeleno mishmash of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia and rock.” This year they released a new album called “Tastes Like L.A.” with the hit single, “If I was President.” “In the left, we’re always talking about what we’re against,” says one of the two co-founders of the band, Hector Flores. “We really want to reimagine and really think what we’re for, because the day is coming and the day is here where we need to push forward an agenda of what we’re for.” We also speak with Denise Carlos.
