Hey, what's up Swave family? It's me, Maria Noosa, and we'll be coming to you soon with season two of Swave. We are working so hard on it.

But I'm here because we're dropping a special episode for you. It's called My Devo.

It's a new podcast about Roots. It's an Apple original podcast produced by our very own futuro studios. In fact, some of the people who worked

on Swave have been working on this podcast for a while and finally it's out. It's about the

legacy of one of the biggest artists in Latin America and the entire Spanish speaking world.

Yes, Juan Gabrielle.

But you know, because it's Futuro producing this, it isn't just a bio series. Our show is about what it means to be Mexican,

what it means to be queer, an outsider, what it means to choose love, hope, every day despite hardships and pain.

Sounds a lot like Swave, right?

It's hosted by our very own Maria Garcia, executive editor of Futuro Studios, host of the acclaimed series Anything

for Selina.

You're going to hear Maria's personal journey connecting with her roots through Juan

Gabriel.

And you know what?

I gotta ask Swabe if he likes Wanga because I bet he does.

Meanwhile, enjoy this episode of my Devo and remember notevias.

Bye.

Where I'm from, the sun shines a particular bright wash of gold.

You see the brightness and angle of sunlight depends on your place on earth.

My home lies about 32 degrees latitude, a position that allows

for soft, glowy mornings, blazing noons, and sunsets that look like they're made out of caramel and lavender.

When the warmth of this light blankets my skin, my body knows I'm home.
