Ep 233: Call Me Maybe Oct 20, 2023

Show notes

As we have moved to cell phones, silent mode, and Do Not Disturb life, the phone ring is slowly losing its ubiquity, pero eráse una vez it was a part of daily life — so naturally producers and songwriters creatively incorporated it into beats and song plot lines. This week, we dedicate the episode to a disappearing classic: the phone ring. Featuring music by Hector El Father, Wisin y Yandel, Aventura, Oro Sólido, Selena, and Bad Bunny.
