“Me Gusta Así” is at Communal Spaces 2018. This is a fifteen minute play about East Harlem past and present, from the Sanitation Strike in 1968 to the gentrification of 2018, surrounded by the music of boogalú.
Some recordings from earlier this year, part of a serious/ridiculous work-in-progress poem series inspired by and set to the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Five Years (Demo) by David M. de Leon
