By Alejandro Ramirez Verified, Alejandro Ramírez| Nashville Scene Verified Sometimes great ideas are born from a desire to prove someone else wrong. That’s a cheeky and reductive — but not not accurate — way to describe how Karina Daza formed Musicana, a collective of Latin American musicians in Nashville. Daza says she was inspired to form Musicana in 2023 after struggling to book gigs with venues in town, even places she had already played at as an opener, and was told each time that Latin music just doesn’t sell. “It lit a fire in me,” says Daza.
By Alejandro Ramirez Verified, Alejandro Ramírez| Nashville Scene Verified Carmen was nervous when she arrived in the United States in December 1999, leaving her home country El Salvador behind. She acquired temporary protected status, or TPS, in 2001, and after more than 20 years of — in her own words — surviving and working hard every day, she now owns a small business and provides for her family. And she says TPS, a temporary status given to people from certain countries fleeing dangers like civil war and earthquakes, helped make it all possible.
By Alejandro Ramirez Verified, Alejandro Ramírez| Nashville Scene Verified As Donald Trump returns to the presidency, many immigrants and immigration advocates are bracing for his promised mass deportations and border crackdowns. One uncertainty is how Trump will handle a policy he once attempted to end: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. Barack Obama established DACA in 2012 by executive order, granting young undocumented immigrants the chance to apply for driver’s licenses, pursue jobs, seek higher education and more without fear of deportation.
