This NYC Store Built a Community for Latin American Designers—Now It's Launching a Podcast
Put your headphones on, Lower East Siders. No, not for Addison Rae's debut album (but also yes, for that too) but for a much-welcome, not-another-white-man podcast that's sure to enrich and inspire. Nestled in a below-ground space, steps away from Dimes Square favorites Cervo's and Scarr's Pizza, sits Tumbao, an expansive curation of Latin American ready-to-wear, accessories, and jewelry brands. If you've been in the minimalist space, you might think it's just another cool store in a cool neighborhood, but a closer look reveals something more akin to a showroom, bringing brands you may or may not have heard of to the forefront. 'Tumbao was never meant to be just a store,' says founder Valentina Pozo. 'It's a physical space, yes, but also a living project—a platform for storytelling, collaboration, and cultural preservation.' Pozo, who hails from Ecuador, started Tumbao in 2021 as a series of pop-ups until the LES location pulled her in. Now, it's been a permanent store for three years, bringing together designers, musicians, collaborators, and friends. After years of hosting events, uplifting artisans, and connecting people from all walks of life, Pozo is bringing her gift of community-building to a new medium: podcasting. 'I want it to feel like sitting at someone's kitchen table—where the conversation lingers and something real gets exchanged,' Pozo says. 'So much of what happens at Tumbao isn't transactional—it's conversational. Customers stay to talk. Artists drop by just to connect and catch up on recent projects. And those conversations are where so much depth lives: about process, about doubt, about ancestry, identity, survival, vision.' 'The podcast is a way to document that,' she continues. 'It's about slowing down and asking: How did you get here? What do you need? What are you dreaming about?' Much like Tumbao itself, the podcast will feature a variety of Latin American designers, photographers, gallerists, retailers, musicians, and friends. 'People who are shaping culture in quiet or bold ways,' Pozo says. 'A lot of it is based on instinct. We can tell when something has soul.' While the future of luxury fashion and retail remains uncertain, Tumbao is offering a new approach for a new generation. The designers featured in the store are those whom Pozo has met through travel, various connections, or oftentimes, the Internet and social media. Many brands at the store don't operate through traditional models, but instead have made-to-order systems, making Tumbao a go-to for rare finds and if-you-know-you-know styles, all curated with the eye of someone who understands an intentional customer and isn't bound by scale. 'We prioritize designers who are building from a place of research, care, and cultural rootedness, not just trend,' Pozo says. 'I think the future of retail has less to do with performance and more to do with relationship: Can you tell a story that's honest? Can you hold a space that feels alive? That's what people are looking for.' The Tumbao Podcast is out now.

Pallante tosses 7 shutout innings and Pozo helps spark Cardinals to 2-0 victory over Phillies
Associated Press ST. LOUIS (AP) — Andre Pallante pitched seven shutout innings and rookie catcher Yohel Pozo came off the bench to drive in a run, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. Pallante (2-0) gave up just two singles, struck out four and walked two. Phil Maton retired the side in the eighth and Ryan Helsey got three outs after giving up a leadoff single in the ninth for his second save of the season, preserving St. Louis' first shutout. Aaron Nola (0-3) allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings and struck out seven. Nola had been 4-0 in five previous starts against St. Louis since Game 2 of the NL wild-card playoffs in 2022. Pozo, who made his Cardinals debut Monday night in Pittsburgh, entered the game to catch in the second inning after shortstop Masyn Winn left with lower back spasms. Pedro Pages moved from catcher to second base and second baseman Thomas Saggese, who had two hits, went to shortstop. Pozo finished 3 for 4 with a run scored, matching his career high for hits previously done with Texas in 2021. St. Louis scored its only runs in the fifth inning. Pozo doubled into the corner in left field to score Saggese from first base. After Lars Nootbaar singled, Nola struck out the next two but then walked Nolan Arenado and Alec Burleson to force in Pozo and make it 2-0. Key moment With two outs and a runner on third that Pallante helped put there with a walk and an errant pickoff throw in the fifth inning, he struck out Bryson Stott to keep the Phillies scoreless. Key stat Nola had only walked one batter in his first two starts this season. In five innings Friday, he walked four. Up next LHP Cristopher Sánchez (0-0, 4.09) faces RHP Miles Mikolas (0-1, 11.25) in the second game of the series Saturday. ___ AP MLB: recommended
