Interview with Trio Aztlan

By Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – When Uzziel Pecina began his band, people told him, "Well, it's better than nothing." Now, after 13 years, the Trio Aztlan just released a second album, called Peor es Nada - Spanish for better than nothing. KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross spoke with Uzziel Pecina and Jose Sustaita of Trio Aztlan.

Trio Aztlan performs every Saturday night at Manny's Restaurant on Southwest Boulevard.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.

Your support has always made KCUR's work possible — from reporting that keeps officials accountable, to storytelling to connects our community. Help ensure the future of local journalism.
