For me, and I imagine for a lot of you, music has been the thing that brings people together, even when we are apart. It’s important maybe now more than ever that we find ways to connect and find comfort and inspiration.

While I can’t perform for you right now, I am excited about a new way that I can share music. Starting next Tuesday, I will be partnering with KUSC in Los Angeles and KDFC in San Francisco on a new radio show that I will record right here in my home.

I will be talking with my friend Brian Lauritzen and sharing with him and you some of my favorite recordings. And unlike in a concert, I get to talk directly to you about why I love this music and why I think you will, too. Some shows will be in English, some in Spanish, but the music needs no translation.

I hope you join me for this new project. Stay home. Stay Safe. But most of all, stay connected and inspired.

Warmest regards,
Gustavo
