Bailes de Mi Tierra celebrates traditional Mexican folk dances. Plus, building a coalition of Latino-serving nonprofits.

Dance, music, colorful costumes! How is the Mexican folk dance group Bailes de Mi Tierra preserving cultural traditions and passing them onto younger generations? We speak with founder José Reyes. The group is celebrating its 15th anniversary next month. You can see Bailes de Mi Tierra perform this Saturday at 2 pm at Hereford Public Library on York Road in Baltimore County. Find other performances here.  Then, Maryland Latinos Unidos brings together businesses, nonprofits, and individuals serving the state's Latino and immigrant communities. We speak with Executive Director Gabriela Lemus about pandemic recovery and raising up the next generation of Latino leaders.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
