BEAT LATINO: Afro-Latinidad in the Music

[…]

This week’s Beat Latino celebrates Black History Month musically with a contemporary selection of music created by AfroLatine artists from Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Argentina and more! It’s a homage to the tercera raíz, and an expression of Afro-Indigenous-Ibero-American musical heritage. From tropical afrofuturism to roots jazz to reggae, the tunes this week are also a Beat Latino thanks for the African gift to nuestra música. Enjoy!
