Música for the Resistance! This week’s Beat Latino presents a selection of songs to inspire us in these difficult times. From songs decrying police violence to songs for protecting the environment, to tunes expressing solidarity with the #Blacklivesmatter movement to others questioning the President, this week’s Beat Latino has your protest soundtracks covered. We also share a segment of an interview with artist/activist Quetzal Flores. Enjoy! And Resist.
