How often do we stop and see the place where we live? Marcos and Jim practice Bronx-ology, Bronx talk, discussing Bronxian themes in three Marcos de la Guagua compositions. Jim highlights the power of multi-generational narrative, and reflects on his Bronx childhood, education and work as an educator. Marcos breaks down the word-smithing underpinning his anthems of Bronx communities and contemporary Bronx leaders Pierina Sanchez and Alexandria Ocasio Cortéz.
Marcos’ 2024 Bronx-ology project is supported by funds from NY State and the City of NY through the Bronx Council on the Arts.
