This special hour of Beat Latino presents melodies and songs in celebration of Earth Day: from rocking eco-anthems in favor of universal water rights by Latin alternative musicians Aterciopelados from Colombia, to traditional indigenous melodies about the beauty of nature in its flowers and birds - there´s music from all corners of the Latin and Latino musical universe to celebrate our planet's many marvels.
