Siempre Pa'lante! Always Forward

Hola mi gente! Welcome to Siempre Pa’lante! Always Forward. I’m your host, Giraldo Luis Alvaré. Gracias for listening.  Everything about my next guest is Golden. He captures timeless moments through a lens, leaves his mark through graffiti, moves the crowd on the 1’s and 2’s, and serves up mouthwatering delicacies. He moves with the rhythm of the times, evolving, ascending—always one step ahead. Just when you think you’ve caught up, he shifts and levels up again. Oh, and did I mention? He’s not just the artist behind the sound—he was an executive shaping it too. Yes, you heard right. Pictures, color, music, and food aren’t just interests—they’re the very languages he lives through. Each one is a palette that expresses the depth of who he is. Whether it’s the click of a shutter immortalizing a fleeting moment, the melody of a song, or the flavor of a perfectly crafted dish, his creativity knows no bounds.

Hola mi gente! Welcome to Siempre Pa’lante! Always Forward. I’m your host, Giraldo Luis Alvaré. Gracias for listening.  We’re back to bless you with more episodes for Season 3. And what better way to get back into Cultura, Familia and Legacy than our next guest who is releasing his memoir on July 1. He's a pioneer who revolutionized basketball and sneaker culture, and left his mark on music. A sage of our time and true visionary, he’s crafted unforgettable experiences that have changed lives around the world. From the basketball courts of Nueva York to those across the globe, his humble beginnings forged a streetball connoisseur — a player who moves with rhythm, plays with soul, and speaks through every crossover and step-back. He honors the legends that came before him, those he played with and pays it forward to the present and future generations.

Hola mi gente! Welcome to Siempre Pa’lante! Always Forward. I’m your host, Giraldo Luis Alvaré. Gracias for listening.  You know we couldn’t close out 2024 without a special episode that will connect you instantly to the word legacy. Our next guest was conceived in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba and born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Dedicating over 60 years to baseball, he shows no signs of slowing down. His faith and connection to God are his foundation providing you front-row seats via his writing that captures the heart and soul of the game.
