[ENCORE] Ep 38: Divas Apr 26, 2019

Show notes

Icons. Reinas. Únicas. The fiercest of the fierce. Today we bring back an old episode donde nos enfocamos on las divas. They have the presence, the fire, and the voice (well, most of them–sorry, J Lo). Tune in for a fabulous mezcla of divas from across time and place; stay to hear about the shady diva rivalries, to find out which of these songs’ lyrics Vero has tattooed on her arm, and to discover why our moms don’t think their eyebrow tattoos count as real tattoos. JK, we don’t know the answer to that. Featuring music by Paquita La del Barrio, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Olga Guillot, La Lupe, and Melida Rodriguez.

Ep 78: Romeo Santos' Utopía Apr 12, 2019

Show notes

Romeo Santos hit us with a new album that lifts up the legacy of bachata and the people that came before him. What choice did we have but to stop everything and do a deep dive? On Utopía Romeo takes us to bachata school - lifting up the legends and the greats on whose shoulders he stands, as well as the old-school sounds each of them pioneered. Plus the first new Aventura song in a decade? What a beautiful gift. Featuring music by Romeo Santos with El Chaval de la Bachata, Raulín Rodriguez, Elvis Martinez, Teodoro Reyes, Monchy y Alexandra, Antony "El Mayimbe" Santos, and Aventura.

Ep 77: Mujeriego Apr 05, 2019

Show notes

Womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby. This week we've got songs all about mujeriegos--those men who cheat, who run around, who aren't players, they just crush a lot. Should we be surprised there are so many songs on this theme? Join us as we get into all the intricacies of how machismo plays out in relationships and a few gems from the women who aren't having it. Featuring music by Farruko, La India, Melii, Galante El Emperador, Aventura, La Lupe and José José.
