Alt.Latino: Joy and resistance, plus Felix shares some of his favorite playlists

This week Ana and I share some of our long time favorites. While Ana leans into music discovery, I tend to bring more of the classics. In fact, I build playlists on a streaming service to mix music much like I did back in the era of the cassette tape. There is wide swath of music presented in the show this week. —Felix Contreras • Maestro Espada, "La despedida," "Tres gotas de rocío," and Peretas del Tío Vicente" • Lido Pimienta, "Ahora" • X Alfonso, Eme Alfonso & Síntesis "Rezo a Changó" • Simon Diaz, "Tonada De Luna Llena" • Raúl Rodríguez, Chano Domínguez & Martirio, "En Esta Tarde Gris" • Rita Payés & Silvia Pérez Cruz, "El Panadero" • Maria José Llergo, "Aprendiendo a Volar" • Amaia Miranda, "Canción para Amama" • Ataquemos, "Vilo" • incluso si nunca despiertas, "la lluvia no mata las flores" • Malo, "Suavecito" • Tommy James & The Shondells, "Crystal Blue Persuasion" • Hugh Masekela, "Grazing In The Grass" • War, "All Day Music" • El Chicano, "Viva Tirado" Audio for this episode of Alt.Latino was edited and mixed by Noah Caldwell.
