Mucho Mucho Amor is a tribute as inspired and jubilant as its majestic subject, a true original, who “used to be a star and now is a constellation.” Read full review

Mercado the human shell is gone, but his spirit lives on, expansively. In Mercado’s universe, there’s no such thing as just a little amor. Read full review

Very informative and a great look at a glimpse of hope I'm the ultra bigoted society of latin culture.
