It's unclear what sort of impact the arrest of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman will have on the global drug trade. But there's concern his capture could unleash a new wave of violence inside Mexico. We'll discuss the impact of Guzman's capture with Laura Carlsen of the Center for International Policy.

Then, we'll celebrate the life of the late cante flamenco singer Paco Di Lucia with a local flamenco dancer and singer.
