Alt.Latino: Salsa, bossa nova, and Argentina's next big thing
Not to sound like a broken record, but I'll say it again: the variety of creative expression in what is inadequately labeled "Latin music" continues to astound me. From the bossa nova-by-way-of-Guatemala of Fabuloso and Los Skeepers, to the evolving torch singing of the Chilean-via-Mexico vocalist Mon Laferte, to the ‘Western noir’ of California singer Andrés Miguel Cervantes, to Nathy Peluso’s Argentine take on Seventies New York City salsa, to jazz from southern Spain’s Chano Domínguez... how do we even try to keep up with this kind of output? Someone has to do it, and we’re glad it’s us. Featured artists and songs: - Milo J, 'OLIMPO', 'Bajo De La Piel', 'Jangadero' - Fabuloso & Los Skeepers, 'Si Te Gusta' - Mon Laferte, 'Las Flores Que Dejaste En La Mesa', '1:30' - Chano Domínguez & Emaginario, 'March Of The Siguiriyas' - Nathy Peluso, 'ÁNGEL' - Andrés Miguel Cervantes, 'Dreams of Jacumba' This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
