Music from the Local and Global Stage

Week 10-16-25

Local

DARK SHADES – Art.Carter

Saba flow & Mac Miller soul over
a somber guitar and crisp drums, Art. Carter’s lyrics flex with honesty on a mellow but moving beat built for bars that balance grind and grace.

Flow de Saba y alma de Mac Miller sobre guitarra triste y drums finos; Art. Carter suelta barras honestas en un beat tranquilo pero con empuje.

Global

THINK ABOUT IT – Paco

English and Spanish verses trade off in a confession that glides on an atmospher- ic, groovy bassline. It’s like dancing on a treadmill built by Sade and Daft Punk.

Los versos en inglés y español se van pasando el mic en una rola que flota sobre un bajo sabroso y atmosférico. Es como bailar en una caminadora armada por Sade y Daft Punk.

Local

THESE THINGS – Thibault Ruellan

This track on the local producer’s newest album dropped just last week. It’s a double-time banger with syrupy vocal samples, rapid-fire trunk-rattling 808s, and a chant-like flow that glides hypnotically over the beat.

Este track del nuevo álbum del produc- tor local salió la semana pasada. Es un madrazo a doble tiempo con voces melosas, 808s retumbando y un flow tipo canto que hipnotiza sobre el beat.

Eres Para Mi – Sinfónico En Vivo – Julieta Venegas

This live version recorded in Tijuana feels like a love letter with a symphonic hug—playful, radiant, and elevated by the sweep of a full orchestra.

Esta versión en vivo grabada en Tijuana se siente como una carta de amor con un abrazo sinfónico—juguetona, brillante y elevada por el poder de toda una orquesta.

Week 10-16-25 - Nicole Macdonald

Nicole Macdonald

his mural honors the women behind Thumbprint Fulfillment, a small business in Southwest owned
by mother and daughter. Painted in tribute to Connie Reid, her mother Cecilia Mendez-Reid, and Connie’s newborn daughter, it celebrates three generations of strength, heritage, and care rooted in the heart of the community.

Este mural rinde homenaje a las mujeres detrás de Thumbprint Fulfillment, un pequeño negocio del suroeste dirigido por madre e hija. Dedicado a Connie Reid, su madre Cecilia Mendez-Reid, y la hija recién nacida de Connie, celebra tres genera- ciones de fuerza, herencia y amor arraigadas en el corazón de la comunidad.

Week 10-02-25 - Freddy Diaz

Freddy Diaz

“SWFreddy”s striking depiction of La Bestia – the noto- rious train migrants ride from Central America through Mexico to reach the U.S. border – once stretched across the former Garaje Cultural at Otis & Livernois. Though the mural has since been bricked over by Al Capone Liquor, its spirit survives as a haunting reminder of the journeys people risk for a better life.

El artista “SWFreddy” pintó La Bestia – el tren que migrantes toman desde Centroamérica rumbo al Norte – en el antiguo Garaje Cultural de Otis y Livernois. Aunque la obra fue tapada por la licorería Al Capone, su mensaje perdura como recordatorio de los riesgos y la esperanza en la búsqueda de una vida mejor.

A smoky twist on the margarita—tequila and mezcal shaken with sweet orange bell pepper syrup, a sprinkle of Japanese chili spice, and a fresh kick of cilantro. Bold, earthy, and super refreshing.

Flour Power on Bagley
Same Walls, New Story
 
Credit: @FlamingoVintageDetroit IG

Before it was Flamingo Vintage, this building held another kind of beauty. In this archival photo, a family poses proudly among flowers and polished floors—the same space decades before Nikki Neuzil restored its bones and brought it back to life. A glimpse of what once was, and what still endures.

Antes de ser Flamingo Vintage, este edificio guardaba otro tipo de belleza. En esta foto de archivo, una familia posa con orgullo entre flores y pisos relucientes—el mismo espacio, décadas antes de que Nikki Neuzil restaurara sus cimientos y le devolviera la vida. Una mirada a lo que alguna vez fue… y a lo que todavía perdura.

Flour Power on Bagley
 
Gutierrez Family Archives

This restored photo captures a La Michoacana tortilla truck parked outside the very building that still houses its Bagley flour facility. Founded in the early 1940s, La Michoacana made history as Michigan’s first tortilla shop—and remains the state’s oldest and longest-running to this day.

Esta foto restaurada muestra un camión de La Michoacana estacionado frente al mismo edificio donde todavía funciona su fábrica en Bagley. Fundada a prin- cipios de los años 40, La Michoacana hizo historia como la primera tortillería de Michigan—y hasta hoy sigue siendo la más antigua y la que más tiempo ha servido a la comunidad.
