The music is fantastic. Just makes you move and celebrate life. And we need that right now.
Everyone is proud of their culture, whatever it may be, and they are showing it. And I love that!
When LGBTQIA+ and immigrants are under attack, you being here is a force for solidarity and resistance.
Through art and cultural affirmation, that is what is needed when in this time.
