Ep 200: Gal Costa Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

Legendary Brazilian singer Gal Costa passed away last week, leaving behind an incredible legacy of musical innovation. Along with others in the Tropicália movement of the late 1960s, they created a new genre that married traditional Brazilian rhythms with international sounds. Gal was a central voice in the tropicalimso movement, and that work laid the foundation for a career spanning over 50 years. Featuring music by Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia and Seu Jorge.

Ep 199: Luzmila Carpio Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Luzmila Carpio is a luminary of indigenous music in Latin America and beyond. Her songs, inspired by the sounds of bird song, streams, and the land she grew up on, have brought Quechua and Aymara sonic traditions and stories of indigenous resistance around the globe. This week, as we start a month rife with revisionist histories about colonization, we offer you this antidote.

Ep 196: Hot Mess Express Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

We might be exaggerating a little bit, but we are running ragged from traveling, so this week we’re just haciendo lo que nos da la gana (thanks Bad Bunny!). We brought whatever songs we wanted to with no theme to unify them, and it’s a pretty great mix if we do say so ourselves.
