S5.C1: – Introduction to the Jalisco trip

For this season we went on a road trip through the state of Jalisco and we had the opportunity to meet the maestros, maestras and their families at their homes. Where it seemed appropriate Cate and Diego recorded their conversations that we are now sharing with you. Albert was with us only in spirit (and he provided all the technology and knowledge for us to record).

This chapter is a warm-up conversation between our new co-host Cate (welcome!) , Diego and Albert and provides the context for the things to come. We will publish three more chapters together with this one

We hope you enjoy this incredible experience – which already took place in 2022.

A big thank you to our guide Esteban Garibi. Without your relationships this trip would not have been possible.

Getting ready for the first interview!
