About this listen

In this episode of Taste Music Hear Food, we sit with Jacqui Thompson, a visionary force who moves between worlds with ease: from soundboards to stills, boardrooms to agave fields.

As co-founder of Las Melodías de la Luna Mezcal, Jacqui blends ancestral spirit with musical memory. We unpack her evolution from managing icons like Prince and Outkast to championing women distillers in Oaxaca specifically the powerful partnership with mezcalera Rosario Ángeles.

We talk:
The rhythm of storytelling through spirits
That unforgettable blood moon that sparked it all
What it means to distill legacy as a Black woman in mezcal
The soundtrack behind every bottle and every rebirth

“Notes of Smoke, Hints of Soul” is more than a title...it’s a tribute to the slow burn of identity, intention, and cultural stewardship. This one lingers like a sip worth savoring.
