Alt. Latino

Every week, Alt.Latino introduces listeners to new artists shaping the sound of Latin music. From Mexican American R&B darling Omar Apollo to Dominican Dembow game-changer Tokischa and everyone in between, the show's one-on-one interviews with artists use music as a tool for exploring the history and culture of Latin America and what creates a shared Latinx identity.
Felix Contreras and Anamaria Sayre's discussion of music and culture reflects their shared experiences as Mexican Americans and explores the generational differences that inform their identities.
