FC Bayern’s Community Exploration journeys into immigrant and diaspora communities across North America connected by football, heritage, and belonging. Guided by the club’s players, we trace how football connects to culture, family, and the places people call home. In this episode, the journey continues in Jackson Heights, Queens, home to one of New York City’s strongest Colombian communities. Through Alejandro Osorio of Arepa Lady and musician Andrea Chavarro of Lula Club, the episode explores how Colombian identity is carried through food, music, football, and the everyday joy of community. For Alejandro, Arepa Lady is more than a restaurant. Founded by his mother, Maria Piedad Cano, after immigrating from Colombia, it became a place of stability for their family and a piece of home for Colombians in New York. What Alejandro once struggled to understand as a child later became a source of pride, connection, and responsibility. Today, he and his wife continue that legacy through a commitment to authenticity, preserving the flavors and traditions that allow people to feel close to Colombia, even from far away. Andrea’s story brings another layer through music and self-expression. After traveling abroad and finding the confidence to sing in public, she co-founded Lula Club, an all-women salsa orchestra dedicated to preserving and sharing the richness of Latin music and culture. Through rhythm, history, and performance, Andrea shows how music can connect people emotionally, culturally, and spiritually. Together, Alejandro and Andrea reflect the spirit of a community that continues to celebrate life through food, music, and football. In Jackson Heights, that pride comes alive on match days through the festive attitude Colombians carry wherever they go. ► Wanna see more of Musiala, Olise, Kane & Co.?
