This is the first episode of Frisco Freakquencies. Born and raised in San Francisco Mission District, I'm a Frisco Freak through and through. And this first episode was specially dedicated to my late grandmother, Zenelia a.k.a Nana. She passed a little over a year ago and I miss her everyday. When she was sick we made a playlist of over 7 hours together, I wanted to remember all her favorite songs - and we'd listen to it everyday. These are a collection of 28 songs from that playlist, the songs that she loved the most, the songs that remind of her, and the songs of grief in her loss. I love you nana banana, mas que todo el mundo y los cielos <3
