Metropolitan Culture Corner: Toni Castarnado

This month, on the final Metropolitan Culture Corner of 2022, we speak with author and journalist Toni Castarnado. Toni has written about all kinds of topics, ranging from basketball to film, but his main passion is music. His books Mujer y Música, Mujeres y Música, and Ellas Cantan, Ellas Hablan, specifically focus on notable women in music. He has also written interviews and articles for El Pais, Ruta 66, Rockzone, MondoSonoro and other publications, and is always in the middle of at least half a dozen projects on any given day.

Last month, we interviewed journalist, author, creative consultant, activist and feminist, Dr. Angels Bronsoms. Over the years, she has worked as correspondent for international publications in both the US and Europe, where she offered an intersectional perspective on women in the Spanish entertainment industry as well as a look at new technologies and their impact on society. The main focus of her research today is the history of women in music and feminist musicology.
