2016 was such a fabulous year for Latin music! In this hour of Beat Latino, we share an eclectic and forward–thinking setof tunes which go from dark poetic electronic–tinged flamenco (Niño de Elche) to mad psychedelic cumbia (OrkestaMendoza) to a wave of nu–boleros (iLe, Frankie Reyes, Miramar) which reinterpret one of the Golden Ages of LatinAmerican music. Enjoy! Here’s to a 2017 full of light, hope and more amazing music!
