Getting That Energy Out with Baqvas

Today's show is all about getting that energy out. Anxious energy, that stuck-in-one-place energy, pandemic nervousness energy -- also that angry energy that came from hearing about the hate crimes in Atlanta and the ones in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The set feat. a lot of music made by musicians of color and of diaspora, some of whom are queer/non-binary. Punx indigenous to the Pacific Northwest, Latinx punx, mixed race punx, Black punx, Arab punx, Boriqua punx, Indian punx, Pakistani punx, Iranian punx, etc
