Beat Latino airs Sundays on Radio Arte (wrte.org) and is archived on this website weekly. Beat Latino specials are also licensed all over the United States  through the Public Radio Exchange.

This special hour is all about L-O-V-E. Or A-M-O-R!

We Latinos love to sing about love! Included in this hour: Multiple Grammy-winner Juan Luis Guerra from the Dominican Republic does a merengue-croon about all the kinds of loves in our life, Spanish alt-flamenca Martirio belts out  a jazzy rendition of a song describing the feeling of love and Afroperuvian diva Susana Baca´s velvety voice lingers languidly in a lovely sung poem about the same topic. There´s also highly danceable tunes for the month of Love & Romance –  sizzling salsa  about the ABC´s of loving and Latin alternative group Kinky from Mexico rocking out to a tune about that feeling we call “love” – all this and more as we musically celebrate romance in February!
