Chicago isn’t just a city — it’s a community built on rhythm, culture, and connection.
In this special episode of Duty Beyond Duty, host Manny Guzman sits down with longtime Chicago radio voices Luis Guillermo and César Osmar to reflect on the legacy of La X Tropical Chicago and what it truly meant to serve the city through music, culture, and the airwaves.
This conversation is about impact, not endings.
Luis and César share:
How La X Tropical became a cultural soundtrack for Chicago’s Latino community
The role radio played in uniting neighborhoods and generations
The pride of representing culture, language, and music on a daily basis
What Chicago gave them — professionally and personally
Why it was important for them to simply say thank you to the city and the listeners
This episode is a tribute to Chicago — the families, the neighborhoods, the listeners, and the love that made La X Tropical more than a station.
Because some platforms may change…
but gratitude, legacy, and community last forever.
