What up, Southside Tribe!? This week we sit down with our brother Alex Castaneda, a Cuban rapper, activist, and follower of Christ. We discuss the past and present sociopolitical plight of the island of Cuba, as well as the story of Emelina Nunez, which Alex's last album was about. We touch on the arts, faith, culture, as well as recent comments from a particular group about an "embargo". Come rock with us as we seek to bear the burdens of our brothers and sisters, and be a voice for the voiceless!
