Episode Description from the Publisher

Host Evie Stokes sits down again with Seattle duo Lucha Luna to talk about the music that’s moving them. This time, the group shares their mutual love for Tamara Flores’ empowering anthem, “CHINGONA,” and what it means to be a “badass woman.”“To have, like, a chingona energy comes from your ancestors, comes from the people behind you,” Lucha Luna singer Eva Vazquez says. “People that are holding you through it… It reminds me of my mom and my auntie, and the women that I came from that are chingonas. I’d love to feel that sometimes I have that chingona energy, too.”Produced by Dusty HenryMastered by William MyersProduction support: Serafima HealyListen to the full songs on KEXP’s “In Our Headphones” playlist on Spotify or the “What’s In Our Headphones” playlist on YouTube.Support the podcast: kexp.org/headphonesContact us at headphones@kexp.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
