Alt.Latino

by

The global Latinx community is evolving and growing fast. Alt.Latino is here to celebrate it and all of its nuances through music. Each episode, NPR Music’s Felix Contreras and Anamaria Sayre sit down with a different living legend or rising star to discuss Latinx culture, heritage, and the shared borders of our experiences. Let the chisme begin! Can you hear the cha-cha-cha in The Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”? Or the mambo in Ray Charles’ “What’d I Say”? This week, Alt.Latino revisits a classic episode from 2019 and takes a closer look at the Cuban roots of rock and roll.
