#35 Made in LA: Irene Diaz on Tamarindo (musical guest)

Tamarindo guest host, Elmer Roldan of #HoodDigest joins Brenda Gonzalez on this musical episode with the amazingly talented, Irene Diaz. Born and raised in East LA, Irene Diaz emerges out of the Chicano Music scene as a serenading songstress, moving her audience to sing and sway to the love songs she has created. Her debut EP "I Love You Madly" showcased Diaz's musical style and ability to crossover and draw inspiration from different genres ranging from Jazz to R&B to Folk. She received critical acclaim for "I Love You Madly"....and now she is working on her highly anticipated full length album set to be released in 2018.
