Building a Space for Latin Music in Berlin with Entre Trópicos | S4E17

In this episode, Sebastian sits down with Alejandro, the leader of Entre Trópicos - an events organising project that is building a home away from home for the Latin American community in Berlin and facilitating concerts for Latin artists that want to come to Berlin to perform. Originally from Colombia, Alejandro moved to Berlin and started working as a barista before starting Entre Trópicos with a group of friends and the project has since grown to have a show on Refuge Worldwide (a Berlin-based community radio station), an ongoing partnership with venue SO36, and concerts happening every month!
