## Resource

Some folks think by December all the releases for the year are complete. Not quite. This week we feature a new music show with albums that should be considered along with the year’s best. We've got pop and alternative from Mexico, funk from Colombia, rock and ambient from New York and a Tejano master celebrated by his fellow Texans. Plus, Felix brings the zen. Artists and songs featured in this episode: - Diles que no me maten, 'Manos de Piedra - Revisitada' - Dianna Lopez, 'Sun Frequencies (Renewal)' - HUMBE, 'fantasmas' - Rene Lopez, 'Any Chance' - Duplat, 'Vete del País' - Ruben Ramos. 'El Año Viejo (ft. Gaby Moreno)' This podcast was produced by Noah Caldwell. The executive producer of NPR Music is Suraya Mohamed.
