Episode 50: Colombia Apr 06, 2018

Show notes

This week we bring very special invitadx DJ Alex DB to get into some of the musical traditions of Colombia. We leave behind more well-known paisas - your J Balvins and Malumas - in favor of digging into vallenatos, sextetos, and AfroColombian musical traditions from what was probably the first free black community in the Americas. There is no way to cover the nuances and diversity of music of Colombia in six songs, pero we hope that this selection encourages you to search for más y más! Featuring music by El Combo De Las Estrellas, Genio El Del Canto Bello, Adassa, Alejo Duran, Sexteto Tabalá, and Kombilesa Mi.

Episode 47: Mas Problematic Faves Feb 23, 2018

Show notes

We couldn't help ourselves. There are just too many jams where we either take issue with the artists' politics or past, or where the lyrics are too sexist not to acknowledge...pero they're bangers tho (sorry/not sorry)! So we're bringing you otro problematic faves episode, where we deconstruct some of our favorite artists and acknowledge that everyone makes mistakes--some bigger than others. Featuring music by Vicente Fernandez, Alexis y Fido, Daddy Yankee, Pitbull, Don Miguelo and Prince Royce.

Meneito 12: Winter Feels Feb 16, 2018

Show notes

We were gonna do a (anti?) San Valentín meneito, pero we just weren't inspired. Y saben qué? This is our podcast and we do what we want! So instead we have a different collection of songs for all our winter feels: a balm for invierno blues, a ballad for giving up on love, and rich analogue synth goodness. Featuring music by Bairoa, Eddy Lover, and Rubio. Show notes: https://www.radiomenea.com/blog/2018/02/16/meneito-12-winter-feels

Episode 46: Latinas Who Brunch Feb 09, 2018

Show notes

Hello hello helloooo (que show que show que show)! We're changing things un poquito today in honor of our podcast amigos Latinos Who Lunch, whose Radio Lonchea homages to our format inspired us to return the favor. This one's definitely a different one for us! We're ditching the música (just for this week!) to have a long-form convo about our podcast, the rationale choices that we've made behind the scenes, sexism and misogyny in podcasting, name and gender anxiety, and a little bit about our lives outside of Radio Menea. Go follow Latinos Who Lunch, #SupportLatinxPodcasts, y hasta la próxima (w lots of música, no se preocupen)! Show notes: https://www.radiomenea.com/blog/2018/02/09/episode-46-latinas-who-brunch
