Homenajeando a la Grande, a la Chavela con "v" por ser la única y "no más por joder", recordándole a través de la música y el arte. Hablar de Chavela es hablar de México, de nuestra historia reciente, del amor, del desamor y sobre todo es hablar de nuestra música popular. #chavela #chavelavargas #michelada #ant #cdmx🇲🇽 #micheladas #mexico #musica #teatrodelaciudadesperanzairis #chavelas #miches #miche #tryme #newchavelamix #redbeer #micheladamix #ojorojo #actriz #teatro #microteatro #feliza #felizaarcoiris #galeria #teatrobreve #teatroen #obradeteatro #n https://www.instagram.com/p/CjHKIMwO-4j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing." — Frida Kahlo

"I always knew it. There is no one who can bear another's freedom; no one likes to live with a free person. If you are free, that is the price you have to pay: loneliness." - Chavela Vargas

31 days of queer tenderness
Day 1: Frida Kahlo with then-girlfriend Chavela Vargas, 1954
This is one of the few known photographs that exist of the pair, but there is evidence of a short-lived but intense love affair between the Mexican painter and the Costa-Rican singer. Enjoy these enhanced and colorized versions of this sweet and tender snapshot :)

“Today I met Chavela Vargas. Extraordinary, lesbian, what's more, I wanted her erotically. I don't know if she felt what I did. But I think she's a liberal enough woman, that if she asks me, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to undress in front of her. How many times do you not want to get laid and that's it? She, I repeat, is erotic. Is it a gift that heaven sends me?”
Frida Kahlo's letter to Carlos Pellicer expressing her profound desire for Chavela Vargas

"Hoy conocí a Chavela Vargas. Extraordinaria, lesbiana, es más, se me antojó eróticamente. No sé si ella sintió lo que yo. Pero creo que es una mujer lo bastante liberal,que si me lo pide, no dudaría un segundo en desnudarme ante ella. ¿Cuántas veces no se te antoja un acostón y ya?Ella repito, es erótica. ¿Acaso es un regalo que el cielo me envía?"

Happy International Lesbian Day, and shout-out to all our lesbian followers!
If you’re looking to learn some lesbian history to celebrate the day, check out our episodes on these wonderful women - it’s impossible to say for certain if all these women were lesbians, but they definitely have a place in our conversations about the history of women loving women!:
Anne Lister - 19th century English landowner who journalled the intimate details of her love affairs with women in Secret Lesbian Code.
Audre Lorde - self-described “Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet” who fought for women who, like her, were excluded from mainstream US feminism, whether because of class, race, sexuality, or disability.
Yoshiya Nobuko - prolific author whose popular works on friendships and romances between women made her the richest woman in Japan
St Brigid of Kildare - 5th-century abbess whose rejection of marriage and relationship with fellow nun Darlugdach has made her an inspiration to Irish queer women
Chavela Vargas - Costa-Rican-born musician who put a lesbian spin on traditional Mexican music
Bíawacheeitchish - a renowned warrior, and highly ranked Crow chief in the 19th century, who married four wives (note this image is of Barcheeampe, a possibly-fictional Crow woman who may have been inspired by Bíawacheeitchish - we sadly have no pictures of Bíawacheeitchish herself)
[Images: portrait of Anne Lister; photograph of Audre Lorde next to blackboard which reads “Women are powerful and dangerous”; Yoshiya Nobuko; stained glass window of St Brigid; Chavela Vargas singing on stage; line-drawing of Barcheeampe on a horse holding a spear]

Calaveras y diablitos
Playlist with themes of death (and some that I just like the vibe, not as dark or gloomy as you would think), that are (monstly) in spanish from Latinoamérica. Hope you enjoy it!
