We start this episode in midtown Manhattan, at the CUNY Graduate Center, where we will learn about the last work of Cuban musician and composer Paquito D’Rivera. A recipient of ten GRAMMY Awards, the renowned saxophonist will talk about his piece Ladies in White, inspired by recent events in his native country.

Later, we go with Patricio Lerzundi to the backstage of Repertorio Español, to meet Puerto Rican actress Denise Quiñones. The beautiful actress, who won the Miss Universe pageant in 2001, will tell us about her transition to cinema and theater and about the characters that she has played in the last few years.

Finally, we will speak with John Ross, a journalist and writer from New York. We will talk in depth about his life and his dedication, for over 50 years, to activism and independent media. From the bohemian Greenwich Village of the 60s to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, as well as the Latin America of the 80s and the Zapatista Revolution of the 90s.
