This week’s Beat Latino is a fabulous selection of new tunes and grooves from the Garifuna Collective’s Afro-Central American grooves to Miguel Zenón’s smart and profound Puerto Rican Jazz to psych-Amazonic Cumbia from veteranos Los Wemblers de Iquito to Venezuelan-American Devendra Barnhardt’s lovely, lilting indie pop ballads. This Latinx Ibero-American, Hispanic, Hispanic-American musical universe is wide, wonderful, wild and eclectic. And in language and/or culture and/or beats and/or common histories, we can claim a connection to it all! Enjoy!
