Summary
This week, Latino USA shares an episode of the "My Divo" podcast.
For host Maria Garcia, Mexican megastar Juan Gabriel has always held a singular allure. He was a prolific composer and one of the world’s greatest showmen. There was a lightness and a bigness to him—a big queer exuberance. And now, as the first openly gay woman in her family line, Maria looks to Juan Gabriel as a key to reconcile her queerness with her Mexican heritage.
"My Divo" is an Apple Original podcast produced by Futuro Studios.
