Local Musician Explores Yuma Scene, New KAWC Podcast Episode
Erick Macias, known on stage as Horus Green and Pavé, discussed his journey in Yuma music on a KAWC episode published December 4, 2025, and promoted an upcoming show at the North End Coffeehouse. The episode and linked streams expand exposure for Yuma and San Luis musicians, and highlight local collaboration, venues, and the role of community media in sustaining the arts.
On December 4, 2025, KAWC published an episode featuring Erick Macias, who performs under the production name Horus Green and as Pavé when playing Latin guitar. The installment runs about 24 minutes long and includes a written synopsis that traces Macias from attending underground hip hop shows as a youth to becoming a local music leader. The station page links to streaming options on Apple, Spotify, and Amazon Music and uses tags that include Yuma music, Yuma musicians, and San Luis musicians.
Macias spoke about the evolution of the Krooktone Collective, a local artist network, and described his dual musical styles that bridge production and live Latin guitar performance. The episode also promoted an upcoming show at the North End Coffeehouse, signaling continued activity in small live venues that host local artists and cultivate communal listening spaces.
The broadcast matters for Yuma County residents because it strengthens the visibility of homegrown talent and helps funnel listeners to local performances. For musicians, radio features and cross platform links can translate into larger audiences, more bookings, and revenue for cafés and venues that rely on event traffic. For venue operators and cultural organizers, the episode underscores the practical value of partnerships with local media outlets for promotion and outreach.
Beyond immediate exposure, the program highlights broader institutional roles. Community media that spotlight local artists can serve as cultural infrastructure, supporting collaboration across neighborhoods and with neighboring San Luis musicians. Amplifying these connections can influence local policy priorities around arts funding, venue permitting, and public space programming as officials and stakeholders consider how to sustain creative ecosystems that contribute to economic and civic life.
Residents interested in hearing Macias can access the episode through the KAWC page or the linked streaming platforms to learn more about his work and the Krooktone Collective. Coverage like this functions as both cultural reporting and an entry point for civic engagement with arts and community building in Yuma County.
