4. “I Wonder if I Take You Home” — La libertad en el freestyle: Creada en las calles por jóvenes nuyoricans en la mitad de los ochenta, la música freestyle se convirtió en el sonido y la historia de los puertorriqueños de segunda generación. La fusión entre el hip-hop y el pop con los ritmos e instrumentos latino-caribeños dieron como resultado la música freestyle. El sonido era omnipresente en Nueva York — y más tarde en Orlando, Florida, donde muchos de estos boricuas de segunda generación estaban trazando nuevos caminos y vidas a lo largo de la diáspora. Las jóvenes mujeres artistas puertorriqueñas se convirtieron en el rostro del género; y para las oyentes que se asemejaban a ellas, la música les brindó la oportunidad de bailar al ritmo de alguien que se veía y sonaba como ellas. Las jóvenes artistas del freestyle cantaron sobre el amor, el desamor y sus deseos sexuales: en "I Wonder if I Take You Home" (“Me pregunto si te llevo a casa”) de Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, uno d by La Brega

Pamela Des Barres' Pajama Party with Johnny Echols of Love: This week Miss Pamela is visited by Johnny Echols of Love. Love is of the first racially diverse American bands, their music drew on a diverse range of sources including folk rock, hard rock, blues, jazz, flamenco and orchestral pop. Despite her infamy as “the World’s Most Famous Groupie” or “Queen of the Groupies,” Pamela Des Barres has many other facets, fascinations and unique talents. Known mostly for her heady dalliances and friendships with classic rock’s elite dandies in the 60s and 70s, she presciently kept copious diaries about those madcap revolutionary days and nights. Pamela has written four books, I’m With the Band, Take Another Little Piece of My Heart, (autobiographies) Rock Bottom: Dark Moments in Music Babylon, and most recently, Let’s Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies. She has been teaching ongoing women’s writing workshops in Los Angeles and all over the country for by Pamela Des Barres' Pajama Party!

4. I Wonder if I Take You Home — Freedom in Freestyle: Created on the streets by young Nuyoricans in the mid-1980s, freestyle music became the soundtrack for the lives of second-generation Puerto Ricans. Hip-hop and pop, Latin Caribbean rhythms and instruments — it all came together in freestyle. The sound was ubiquitous in New York, and later in Orlando, Florida, where many of these Boricuas were charting new ground and new lives across the diaspora. Artists, many of whom were young Puerto Rican women, ultimately became the face of the genre; and for the listeners that so resembled them, the music provided an opportunity to dance to the beat of someone who looked and sounded like them. Young freestyle artists sang about love, heartbreak, and their sexual desires. In Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam’s “I Wonder If I Take You Home” — one of the genre’s biggest hits — a young woman sings about her sexual desire, on her own terms and without shame. As a Boricua born in the '90s, reporter Raquel by La Brega

Be sure to got back and listen to Lizzie's previous guest host spots on the pod and subscribe, so you never miss Lizzie! Today’s guest, Valerie June, grew up as country as country gets in Jackson, Tennessee. She remembers writing songs at an early age with frogs and rainbows as her inspiration. Her musical world was divided between the church, where the voice was a tool for worship and instruments were forbidden, and the secular world where she helped out with her father’s side hustle as a promoter in the local music scene. After a stint in a band, June struck out on her own as a solo artist, influenced by the thriving Memphis musical community she found herself in. Her solo work is shaped by blues, folk, rock, and spiritual influences, and it was fascinating to talk to her about the role of intuition in her writing. Her latest album by Basic Folk

6. “Boricua en la Luna” — The Moon’s Distance: “Boricua En La Luna” is a classic anthem about a young man born outside Puerto Rico, who dreams of going back to his parents’ home but never does. Based on a poem written by Juan Antonio Corretjer, the song vividly evokes themes of displacement and connection. And it asserts that Puertoricanness exists no matter where one lives, declaring, “yo seria borincano aunque naciera en la luna” – “I would be Puerto Rican even if I were born on the moon.” That got our team wondering: “what would happen if someone Puerto Rican were actually born on the moon?” We asked the acclaimed Puerto Rican writer Sergio Gutiérrez Negrón to answer the question in a short fictional story. Kelvin is the first human born on the moon, and finds himself growing up there alone. By listening to recordings sent by his grandmother, he learns to love the island he’s never seen. But when he finally meets someone else on the lunar surface, Kelvin is faced with a dilemma abo by La Brega
