Download this Episode of Beat Latino (MP3)

Beat Latino takes you on a weekly paseo through the past, present and future of Latin music in every hour!

This hour of Beat Latino presents new-school musical creations based upon African-rooted genres from the Americas such as the cumbia, the tango, the samba, the rumba and the charanga, as those rhythms are transformed in irresistible mash-ups – chilled out, synthed up, stripped down, and sampled and mixed into the future!

Beat Latino airs weekly on WRTE 90.5FM in Chicago, and is archived here weekly. Please also visit my website for more musical writings and musings! And like Beat Latino on Facebook, por supuesto!
