Here are three takeaways from the new Juan Gabriel documentary “Debo, Puedo y Quiero” on @netflix from our Juanga resident expert, @nopalita_mami!
1. It captures the duality of his life: Alberto, the man v. Juanga, the performer
2. It references the way he played with sexual ambiguity in a very artful way
3. It reveals nearly 50 years of footage he saved because Juan Gabriel knew his story would become cultural patrimony
And if you want more Juanga content you won’t find anywhere else, listen to “My Divo,” hosted by @futuromedia’s @nopalita_mami wherever you get your podcasts!
