Because there aren't really any Latinos the Kansas City media landscape with real community ties . . . The local Mexican/Latino/Hispanic/Chicano festivities were mostly undocumented. Har!!! Pun intended.
A few items that were a big deal for the consistently largest and fastest growing population in Kansas City for more than two decades and even amid the influx of hipsters . . .
Your favorite Chicano dudes are probably kinda peeved about paying big bucks to watch Canelo Álvarez squeak by his opponent in what was a sometimes lively but mostly snoozy fight that cost way too much cash.
Fiesta Hispana has been blasting some horrible music through the streets of Downtown KCMO all weekend. On the bright side, they've redeemed themselves by offering what is likely the only decent and affordable foodie fare inside the loop for most of the year.
Just finished watching El Grito de Dolores which is a remarkable and beloved mishmash of Euro/Fascist/Militaristic glory and might be the reason your urban core neighbors were barking at the moon . . . At least tonight.
And so we offer this quick playlist for our late night local denizens biding their time until they build the wall . . .
As always, thanks for reading week and have a safe and fun Saturday night.
Despacito WTF?
ReplyDeleteYes, yes I know a Puerto Rican guy sings it. And that's why it's funny. Sorta. Not really. Don't care.
DeleteI can take just a little bit of cultural appreciation. Actually, agree with you about the Fiesta downtown this weekend. Very good food. As for the other stuff, have a good weekend folks and get busy back to work building the wall on Monday.
DeleteStreetcar packed with Mexicans tonight. Oh, the irony.
ReplyDeleteNice. I can see it now. A bunch of 5’4”, 120lb guys in airbrushed t-shirts, snakeskin boots and plate-sized buckles with their 5’2”, 300lb girls in giant hoop earrings, muffin tops spilling out of their extra tight jeans and high heels. All reek overwhelmingly of fabric softener.
DeleteThe wall is a myth. It's a fence and it's not close to finished.
ReplyDeleteWill they be selling any black velvet paintings of Elvis?
ReplyDelete@3:43, you forgot to mention all the MAGA Hats they'll be wearing.
ReplyDeleteNeed to keep the slaves entertained so they don't spend time becoming intelligent.
