This week’s Beat Latino celebrates philosophies of la vida, LIFE, as expressed by nuestra música. As we approach the Day of the Dead celebrations in our different lands, we raise a musical toast to living life as fully as possible, and in creative expression of our arts, music and dance. We have songs about la vida from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, the Latine USA, and more, and rhythms from mariachi to electronica. ¡Viva la Vida!
