Joyce Garcia is a filmmaker, photographer and producer born in Veracruz, Mexico. Her debut feature documentary Yo No Soy Guapo is a portrait of cumbia sonidera, a soundsystem based music scene, in Mexico City’s Tepito. As Mexico City begins to gentrify, prohibitions on street dances by local government threaten to shut down street parties and public gathering. On this episode Joyce talks about and plays a special set of music from her home state, Veracruz and her new documentary project there.
