What does it signify when Latino/Latinx artists perform on a global stage? And is representation and visibility ever enough? This episode digs into one performance that dominated cultural conversation this past spring: Colombian pop star, Karol G, was the first Latina to headline Coachella, but her set came with a mix of celebration and critique.

This week Diosa and Mala dig into the cost of visibility for Latino/Latinx artists. Do these artists owe us political activism? And what does it signify when they don't meet that need? Tune in to find out!
