Description:

Beat Latino, hosted and produced by Catalina Maria Johnson, celebrates in every hour a different facet of the extraordinary diversity of the Latin/Latino musical universe.

Like everything else that's important in Latin&Latino culture, Mothers have a special niche in the music. There's songs about a mother's special love, leaving Mom to go elsewhere, returning to Mom and one's hometown, following Mom's advice, and the consequences of not following it!

So, join us in celebrating Mother's Day Latin&Latino style, with lots of singing and dancing!

This hour of Beat Latino presents songs from all over Latin America, and Spain as well as the southern and Western U.S.A. Hosted in both Spanish and English, so all can enjoy and move to the special beat of the Dia de la Madre.

Broadcasts nicely for Mother's Day!
