  • Unique experience after every listen

    After a year of living in Colombia, I not only craved the memory of the culture but also the knowledge of what the vast variety of music I experienced. This is for everything if you’re looking to practice your spanish listening skills, getting new music suggestions (they have a whole playlist on Spotify) or wanting to know the history of blackness in Latin(x) culture. Hands down my favorite Afro Latin podcast.

  • Very much needed !

    I keep feeling that the African component of the Latin-American identity is often times downplayed. Additionally, I love music, so I find the show great .
