This week’s Beat Latino celebrates Immigrant Heritage Month by celebrating the most expressive and story-telling art of music. The music created in the diasporas by immigrants who left their lands due to force or conflict or economic opportunity or even adventure is the greatest gift to the lands of destiny, and the selection of tunes we have for you is ample evidence of that! With British cumbias to Costa Rican rancheras to Canadian-Mexican pop, we celebrate the music we carry within to other lands. Enjoy!
