About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Los Abandoned switches seamlessly from English to Spanish in their music, and their break-out song "Van Nuys es Very Nice" resonates with a growing number of music fans: the kids of Spanish-speaking immigrants. Queena Kim meets the band.
