- BEAT LATINO 027: DIVAS LATINAS
- From
- Catalina Maria Johnson
Beat Latino celebrates in every hour a different facet of the extraordinary diversity of the Latin & Latino musical universe. This edition of Beat Latino, "Divas Latinas" pays homage to legendary women of Latino Music.
The selection includes women who have been jailed and exiled for their music (Mercedes Sosa, Argentina); extraordinary composers (Chabuca Granda, Perú); artists who revived nearly forgotten musical genres (Susana Baca, Perú) or have reinvented traditional genres (Lila Downs, Mexico)...as well as artists who simply made our hearts sing along.
Hosted in English and Spanish by Catalina Maria Johnson, so that nearly all who enjoy the music will also have access to the information.
Broadcasts nicely during Women´s History Month or just about anytime!
