Show notes

Who is on this earth is better equipped to turn human suffering into beauty but artists? Today we launch our cuarentena series, compartiendo con artistas sobre cómo estan bregando con esta situación, how they’re staying creative, and what’s inspiring them. We are excited to be kicking it off with an interview with Raquel Berrios, one half of Buscabulla, whose stunning new album Regresa is out today. We talk about addressing diasporic longing and colonialism, all the beautiful new songs, their decision to move back to Puerto Rico, and all the ways la cuarentena have forced them to be creative in brand new ways.

Ep 117: Luny Vs Tainy Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

As la cuarentena has producers battling it out on IG Live, urbano got in the game with Rapetón putting on the most epic father/son, mentor/mentee battle our little reggaetonerx hearts could have wished for: Luny vs. Tainy. How did Luny’s (of the legendary Luny Tunes - AKA production superstars of el género as it gained commercial steam) extensive old-school catalogue compete with current superstar and child prodigy Tainy’s arsenal of back-in-the-day classics and current international hits? Did Luny mess up the bag with a particularly cringey choice? Are you ready to talk about the depth of Tio Luny’s scoop neck vs the length of his chains, and the fact that he would NOT let poor Tainy go to bed even though he was THIS CLOSE to turning into a pumpkin? Lectores, tamo redi - this week, all you need to know about the battle and more. Featuring music by Daddy Yankee, Wisin y Yandel, Tony Dize, Hector El Father, Plan B and Bad Bunny.

Ep 115: Cuarentena Cooking Apr 10, 2020

Show notes

As most of the world is restricting our movements (You’re restricting your movements yeah? Quedándote en casa? GOOD.), a lot of people are doing more cooking than they have ever done during these cuarentena times. Whether you’re an expert home cook trying to relish in some extra time to take on that ambitious culinary project or a reluctant new chef despairing at the near-constant decision-making required to feed yourself, one thing will always make cooking better: music. Esta semana we have some of what we’ve been listening to while cooking this cuarentena to get your own cuarentena cooking playlists started. Our love to our gente out there who are essential workers keeping the world going, those of you who are working to recover from illness, and any of you who have lost people during this awful time. Cuídense, beibis. Featuring music by Frankie Ruiz, Cauty, Johnny Ventura, Empress Of, Aniceto Molina, and Diego Raposo ft. Medio Picky, CeQuei, and Baldera.

We’re back beibis, after a week off to handle our lives and health. Pero what else could we talk about right now except this new reality? Other than all our Bad Bunny “Yo Perreo Sola” video feels, that is. So we’ve got the music that is keeping us company and giving us joy and comfort during la cuarentena. Stay safe, stay inside si pueden, and THANK YOU to all of you front-line workers. Whether you work at a grocery store or a hospital, we are deeply grateful for you. Featuring music by Bad Bunny, Javiera Mena, Maria Gadú, Helado Negro, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Prince Royce, Mitú and Ela Minus.

What a strange, terrible time y’all. This global pandemic that’s ravaging through our planet is the only thing on our minds, so this week we’re broadcasting from our cuarentena. We have some cheeky coronavirus songs, songs that have us in our feels, and Hector El Father gives us ideas on how to spend our time while cooped up. If you can, beibis, quédense en casa. If you can’t, cuídense como puedan. And above all, be kind to each other. De estas también saldremos. Featuring music by Ariel de Cuba, iMarkkeyz, Luis Enrique, Plan B, Hector El Father ft. Wisin y Yandel, and Julieta Venegas. Also, It’s our fourth birthday - will you consider becoming a Radio Menea member to help us celebrate in this intense time? If a monthly donation isn’t in your budget right now but you could swing a one-time thing, we also accept regalitos through venmo and paypal (radiomenea@gmail.com). And please, we know this is a hard time for MANY of us - please only give from your bounty (and never from your reserves.) We love you!
