Episode 13: Mateo Nube of Los Nadies & Movement Generation

In this episode, I speak with a dear friend of mine, Mateo Nube of the band Los Nadies, which just released a new album, “Tiempo de Desembarcar,” on El Cerrito Records in August. Mateo is also a Co-Director at Movement Generation Justice and Ecology Project and a brilliant political strategist and popular educator on ecology and just transition.  In the episode, we talk Mateo’s experience growing up under dictatorship in Bolivia but being surrounded by revolutionary women, activists, and artists; the defense of truth as a way to defend against the scrambling of reality under authoritarianism; culture and music as intimacy and collective ecstasy; being creators not just consumers of culture; and the non-negotiability of our dignity.  Throughout the episode, we play clips from Los Nadies’ new album and from their recent album release party.  Find Los Nadies online at losnadies.com or on IG at @MusicaLosNadies.
