Mar 14, 2024
his week’s Beat Latino celebrates Victor Jara, Chilean folk singer and founder of the Nueva Canción Movement with a selection of his and other folk singers’ classic protest songs from the 70’s onward. At the 50th year mark after his death, Victor continues to be an icon illuminating the way forward and was recently awarded the Legacy – Lifetime Achievement Award by Folk Alliance International. We also include comments from an insightful conversation we had with Rodrigo Cepeda Planas, Chilean radio host and music journalist, Director of the Festival de Música del Mundo which is celebrated in Santiago, Chile.

BEAT LATINO: The Bolero: Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
Jan 23, 2024
Let’s celebrate the bolero eterno! On Dec. 5, UNESCO inscribed the bolero in its prestigious “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” list. Boleros are an indispensable part of the Latin American sentimental songbook, with form and lyrics deeply rooted Cuba and Mexico — the countries that proposed that the bolero be included in that prestigious UNESCO list. The bolero combines the language used in European poetry, with African rhythms of enslaved peoples and the sentiments of the native peoples of the Americas. This week’s Beat Latino features boleros old and new, a beautiful selection of our most exquisite torch songs that bring together identity, emotion and poetry. Sit back, sip a delicious and appropriate libation, and enjoy! Featured photo: Jessica Medina
