Summary

So, I was away for a bit and the new music just piled up during the holidays, and while we were watching Bad Bunny make headlines at the Grammys and the Super Bowl. Our first new music episode of the new year has quite a variety of styles from lots of different countries. We could say that about just about every new music show we produce. But what are we to do when the amount of creativity that comes our way pretty much overwhelms us? Jump in for a summertime journey through the many sounds of Brazil, a fusion of indigenous and contemporary styles, and a lost relic of Mexican rock from the 1970s. - Felix Artists and albums: (00:00) Introduction (01:20) Amaro Freitas, Criolo, and Dino D'Santiago, 'CRIOLO, AMARO E DINO' (09:19) Javier Jara, 'Our Rhythms, Our Voices' (13:19) Infinito Latente, 'Sem Início Nem Fim' (19:19) Ernan Roch Con Las Voces Frescas, 'La Onda Pesada' (24:52) João Menezes & Paulo Novaes, 'Coisa Híbrida' (30:02) Líber Terán, 'Canciones Del Desierto' This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
