Las Cafeteras Start 2021 Tour!

What a privilege and an honor to have #LASCAFETERAS here in my humble casita, #THEQUESOPODCAST. Denise and Hector stopped by to fill us in on their 2021 tour, all the exciting work they have been doing and their new, fantabulous song "La Sirena."  In the spirit of all social media challenges out there, I challenge you not to dance or tap your feet when you check out their music. But wait there's more (can you tell I have been watching too many infomercials), #LASCAFETERAS always have a message for #LARAZA. Keep it moving, keep striving, working, studying, just like our ancestors did, we have to keep on going...and #GetVaxxed. Check out www.lascafetaras.com for their tour information, coming soon to a city  near you.
