Querido Mundo: Ani Cordero’s songs of protest, and love
Hear this show now:
|
Add or read comments
Ani Cordero is releasing a
terrific - and timely - new album this month, Querido Mundo.
Ani calls the album a “a love letter to a complicated world”: She
takes on issues and causes like racism, immigration, feminism and more
- aiming, as she puts it, “to inspire political resistance and support
for social justice.” It’s also an irresistible blend of her Puerto
Rican roots and other world music influences, and rock and roll.
Ani
and her band join us on the eve of their album
release show Sunday night February 26th at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2.

![]() Thanks, guys. I have a couple hours of laptop power and I can switch to the phone if necessary. I'm warm and dry inside with candles and such. Thanks to global warming, it's a balmy 60 out and not 20 in February. Time to go start pricing backup power options. www.tesla.com... |

That power backup looks appealing. We got a good coating of ice on the Isthmus, but no outages, thank Bob. A reasonable 22°F now. |

![]() My friend, Matt, had his Japanese gf detained at LAX coming back from Japan. She had a student visa, but after confiscating her phone, they found out she had a job (at a gallery). Since she wasn't authorized to work in the U.S., she was told she was barred from the U.S. for 5 years. We found some immigration lawyers and hope to mitigate this issue. Let alone the personal pain, she can't continue her grad studies. |

![]() In two weeks, my Mexi wife has her second immigration interview in two years. She has spent 10s of thousands of dollars in the last two years just to make sure everything is perfect. We were nervous two years ago. Now, we don't know what to expect. Especially as I left NYC to FL looking for better work. |
