Ever nostalgic for his homeland of Puerto Rico, yet ever nurtured by his community in South Louisiana, Diego Martin-Pérez has grown accustomed to living in this romantic conflict of identity, belonging, and connecting those homes through culture. His music selections, heard through his weekly KRVS radio program, La Vellonera, attempt this bridging of cultures. His live, on stage selections prove a more genuine depiction of his longing for home, and gratefulness for what Louisiana has carved of him.
