Puerto Rico

S1, E5: John starts his travels by visiting with up-and-coming trans reggaeton artist, Villano Antillano, who is changing the face and the rules of the game with her music and her existence. John then goes to La Perla to learn about Bomba music, its origins and how its legacy of resistance still lives on. John then travels to a sacred ceremonial place of the indigenous Taino people, where he meets an elder and discusses the issue of statehood and what that could mean for their tribe as they fight to retain their ancestral lands. Next John journeys to Ponce where he meets up with community activist Javier De Jesús Martínez to learn about how this city is attempting to recover from various natural disasters by working together and retaining their customs. John meets with locals from Ponce who are doing just that. Through honoring the ancient artform of mask-making, the people of Ponce keep their pride intact. Finally, John travels to Bacoa, one of the world's top restaurants and best kept secrets. With the help of Chef's Raúl Correa, René Marichal and Xavier Pacheco, John learns how they are reimagining Puerto Rican food, while honoring the food they ate as children.
