*NEW* Spanish-Language Radio Health Show

This Sunday from 6:30-7pm, tune in to Ke Buena (1210AM) in the Seattle Metropolitan area for the debut of a new Spanish-language program called Información es Salud con Community Health Plan.

This show was created by Community Health Plan of Washington to inform and educate the Latino community on various topics by providing a Q&A format with health providers and educators.

The half-hour program will be hosted by Gigi Basaure, and this Sunday's show will feature interviews with Jorge Madrazo and Jackie Vasquez from Sea Mar Community Health Centers, as well as Adriana Flores as a spokesperson for the local chapter of American Diabetes Association. The topics will include diabetes and nutrition.

Tune in to this new show, and let us know your thoughts!

Yep, it's Cinco de Mayo

In the "old days," when Jorge Madrazo was running the Mexican Consulate here in Seattle (before he moved on to lead SeaMar), he'd spend some time reminding everyone at the big Cinco de Mayo party that "Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day!"

So I'm taking this opportunity to carry on that tradition right here at No Es Muy Típico.

Cinco de Mayo is all about celebrating the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Mexico's Independence Day is September 16, or Dieciséis de Septiembre. Which doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same way for us gringos.

In any case, ENJOY in good measure.
