From: Catalina Maria Johnson

Beat-latino-blue_small Beat Latino, celebrates in every hour a different facet of the extraordinary diversity of the Latin/Latino musical universe.

This hour of Beat Latino presents contemporary musical creations based upon centuries old African-rooted genres from the Americas such as the cumbia, the tango, the samba, the rumba and the charanga, as those rhythms are transformed in irresistible mash-ups - chilled out, synthed up, stripped down, and sampled and mixed into the future.

This hour can be paired with BEAT LATINO 15: Africa in the Americas - The Roots of Latin Music, or as a stand-alone hour. Broadcasts nicely in February for Black History Month or just about anytime!
