Magic Mixtape seeks to establish a musical dialogue between two collectors of organic sound material, vinyl records or cassette tapes. Each guest has one side of the cassette, 30 minutes to share their selection of sounds. Every month there will be a new 2 x 30 minute Magic Mixtape in wave formate to listen and / or to record on a cassette. You will also find a cover of the month in pdf to print made by a guest visual artist.

Don Jesús Alcántara Jiménez is a gardener and marginal artist, self-taught who for forty years had produced and sold his work in the street, without much expectation of recognition or projection. The Gallery-workshop Another thing without a name, is a place of exhibition-sale and production of work, which has generated spaces for exchange with projects or people who go through some type of displacement; and whose confrontation has some kind of rigorous relationship with art.
This piece evokes the traditional representations of tigers, corresponding to the state of Guerrero; and is a collaborative piece between the artist and the gallery-workshop.
