Dos Santos Interview

The Chicago-based Latin fusion band Dos Santos wants their city stay connected with the international community that helps it maintain its local character. For this episode of the CHIRP Radio's Artist Interview Series, bandleader Alex Chavez spoke with Features Department Co-Director Mick R. about the philosophy of Dos Santos's music, the legacy of Latin rhythms in popular music within the United States, and the making of their second album for International Anthem, City of Mirrors.

"I think the thread that unites what we do is just a deep appreciation and therefore desire to continue to be inspired by Latin American rhythm... an approach to those ideas that we subsequently experiment with."  - Alex Chavez
