Week 09-25-25

Local

KIWI- Stoop Lee w/ Curtis Roach & Datsunn

A vibey jam blended in hip-hop and heavily rooted in soul music that reminds us of summertime gone by, “KIWI” unites Stoop Lee (born Ade Olaniran) with Curtis Roach (who reached TikTok fame from Tyga’s pandemic-era remix of “Bored in the House”) and producer Datsunn.

Un rolón con vibra hip-hop y bien enraizado en el soul que nos recuerda al verano que ya se fue: “KIWI” une a Stoop Lee (nacido Ade Olaniran) y a Curtis Roach (quien alcanzó fama en TikTok gracias al remix que hizo Tyga de “Bored in the House” en plena pandemia) y el productor Datsunn.

ICNBYH- Cuco

“ICNBYH” (I Could Never Break Your Heart) feels like a summertime daydream—smooth, warm, and wrapped in that old-school lowrider soul sound, but with Cuco’s modern twist.

“ICNBYH” (I Could Never Break Your Heart) se siente como un sueño de verano: suave, cálido y envuelto en ese soul de lowrider a la vieja escuela, pero con el giro moderno de Cuco.

3 AM ON VERNOR – Gabriel Duran

Chopped vocals and Detroit electro drums. It’s a streetcorner serenade that thumps like a techno track. Plus, Isaiah Johns’ (@isayhah) music video is a soulful, frenetic masterpiece.

Voces picadas y beats de electro de Detroit: una serenata de esquina que pega como un track de techno. Y el video de Isaiah Johns es una joya frenética y llena de alma.

ALAMBRE PúA – Bad Bunny

ALAMBRE PúA runs on soft conga tones, a whispering shaker, and an airy, melancholic synth line—heartbreak you can still dance to.

ALAMBRE PúA se mueve con congas suaves, un shaker que susurra y un synth melancólico y ligero—pura tusa pero igual bailable.

Week 09-25-25 - Dasic Fernández

Dasic Fernández

Chilean-born street artist Dasic Fernández is known for monumental, photorealistic murals that honor everyday life and working-class resilience. Commissioned by Hacienda Mexican Foods owner Lydia Gutierrez, his Hand of the Peasant Labor depicts her late father-in-law Fernando Gutierrez — founder of La Michoacana Tortilleria and Mexican Village — as a tower- ing symbol of migrant pride.

El artista urbano Dasic Fernández, originario de Chile, es cono- cido por sus murales monumentales y fotorrealistas que celebran la vida cotidiana y la resiliencia de la clase trabajadora. Encargado por Lydia Gutierrez, dueña de Hacienda Mexican Foods, su obra Hand of the Peasant Labor retrata a su suegro Fernando Gutierrez — fundador de La Michoacana Tortillería y Mexican Village — como un símbolo imponente del orgullo migrante.

Roasted poblano pepper stuffed with picadillo (seasoned ground beef, apples, nuts, and apricots), smothered in a creamy white walnut sauce, and topped with bright pomegranate. The colors red, white, and green mirror the Mexican flag, making it one of the most patriotic plates you’ll ever eat. Available all September, only in Detroit.

Chile poblano asado, relleno de picadillo con carne molida, manzana, nueces y chabacano. Se cubre con una salsa cremosa de nuez y se adorna con granada roja. Los colores verde, blanco y rojo reflejan la bandera de México, por eso es uno de los platillos más patrióticos que existen. Disponible todo septiembre, solo en Detroit.

Hispanos Unidos Hall in 1952
Fiestas Guadalupanas
Hispanos Unidos Hall in 1952
 
Wayne State University Archives (shared on Twitter, 1952)

In 1952, Lithuanian Hall stood as a gathering place for Detroit’s immigrant families. Later, it housed Hispanos Unidos, serving the growing Latino community. More than 70 years later, it’s entering a new chapter as a hub for music, food, and community as Candela Detroit.

En 1952, el Lithuanian Hall era punto de reunión para las familias inmigrantes de Detroit. Años después, fue sede de Hispanos Unidos, apoyando a la creciente comu- nidad latina. Hoy, más de 70 años después, arranca una nueva etapa como centro de música, comida y comunidad bajo el nombre de Candela Detroit.

Fiestas Guadalupanas brought Bagley Street to a standstill. Families braved the cold to honor the Virgen and turned Southwest into a living devotion.

Las Fiestas Guadalupanas paralizaron la Bagley. Las familias aguantaron el frío para honrar a la Virgen y convirtieron el Southwest en pura devoción viva.
