From Catalina Maria Johnson | 58:46
Let's celebrate women and Women´s History Month, Beat Latino style!
Beat Latino celebrates in every hour a different facet of the extraordinary diversity of the Latin & Latino musical universe.
This hour of Beat Latino shares Latin American and Spain's musical tradition of odes singing the praises of the ladies, a selection of tunes that go from Puerto Rico's fiery salsa to Colombia´s percussion-laden currulao to northern Mexico's squeeze-box norteño to Cuba's songwriting tradition of nueva trova.
Bilingual commentary (English and Spanish) ensures that most who would appreciate the music will also have access to the information about it.
So, let's celebrate Women´s History Month, Beat Latino Style!
