And almost from the beginning, Alt.Latino has been pulling aside the bands and artists that play Latin music. It’s always been a highlight to see the incredible talent that's out there night after night in bars, clubs, community centers, street parties and backyards, finding new ways to express their Latino identity through music. This year was no different. We waded through hundreds of entries to select the six to feature this week, which showcase a huge variety of musical expressions. And a reminder: you can see every band that sent in a video this year right here - and a big shout out to this year’s winner, Cure For Paranoia ! Artists and songs featured in this episode: (04:10) Sofia Gomez, \"Without Me\" (07:58) Ed Harvest, \"Me Toca Despedirme de Ti\" (11:05) alegrías, \"Wahoo!\" (16:05) Ivan Llanes and Friends, \"Cubahia\" (22:27) Majo Puente, \"MAKTUB\" (25:56) Thee Almighty Majestics, \"Última Noche\" This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
