Download this Episode of Beat Latino (MP3)
It’s time to revel in the sun! And Beat Latino’s selection this week shares music that takes us to beaches and cool breezes and saying, “¡hola, sol”! — hello, sun, hello summertime! It’s been a long time! So sit back, enjoy the warm rhythms from icons like el divo de Juarez, Juan Gabriel, to the futuristic yet organic electronica of Venezuela’s Algodón Egipcio incorporating sweet birdsong.
