Red Rice & Fina'denne'
A storytelling podcast where your host, Jay Castro, navigates connection to his CHamoru heritage and the people from the Mariana Islands.

And just like red rice and fina'denne', this podcast will talk story—but that’s the pop—that talk that’ll have you coming back for more. Learn more at http

Latte Fest: CHamoru flavors and sounds in San Francisco
Send us a text Stepping onto Treasure Island, we were swept up in the vibrancy of the CHamoru culture at Latte Fest 2024. Adorned with the weight of multiple sinahi nechlace and the comfortable shade of a woven hat, Jaybyrd found himself navigating a sea of tradition, taste, and tales. Among the swirl of colors and sounds, I caught up with Chef Shawn Naputi, whose chagi chicken was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece, and the O'Mallon brothers from Guam Style, who passionately shared their vision of clothing steeped in heritage. It wasn't just about the food and fashion, though; community champions like Lenny Indalecio and Cece Lozoya reminded us that the heart of this festival beats with the rhythm of our collective efforts and pride. The inaugural Latte Fest was a bridge across generations, with the Guam Community Club of Sacramento, the Northern California Chamorro Club, and Inafa'maolek.us laying the foundation for our future. Guided by the inspiring leadership of Delfina Palomo, Victor Pangelinan, and Verna Castro, this event was more than a gathering—it was a proud display of the hafa adai spirit. Through interviews and laughs, Jaybyrd connected with attendees and volunteers.
