As you enjoy time during this holiday slowdown, we want to share an episode of the “My Divo” podcast.

In this episode we hear how for host Maria Garcia, Mexican megastar Juan Gabriel has always held a singular allure. He was a prolific composer and one of the world’s greatest showmen. There was a brightness to him—a big queer exuberance. And now, as the first openly gay woman in her family line, Maria looks to Juan Gabriel as a key to reconciling her queerness with her Mexican heritage.
