The Old VHS in the Garage | 7

Jewel of the Nation | 6

Juan Gabriel sends shock waves across the highbrow art world by performing in Mexico’s Palacio de Bellas Artes. Cultural elites are not thrilled to have a “popular” music artist perform at this temple of opera and ballet. But when JuanGa emerges onstage during the concert wearing sequins and gold fringe, he sends a statement about what’s possible—and gives a legendary performance that’s ritually and religiously rewatched to this day by millions. Maria is one of those millions, and as she follows Juan Gabriel’s footsteps in a gentrifying Mexico City, the journey makes Maria question her place in the city as a Mexican-American.
