About this listen
Podcast hosts of Radio Menea, Miriam Zoila Pérez (Pérez) and Verónica Bayetti Flores (Vero) explore how Latin music has shaped movements of people, culture, and sound across decades of Latin artists and hit songs. Through collections of essays, playlists, timelines, album deep dives, and more, the authors share their examination of the role and influence that movements, migration, and colonialism, had and have on all types of Latin music, from bachata, to boleros, and to salsa and samba.
Within these vibrant pages you’ll find song-by-song analysis of significant albums like Selena’s iconic Amor Proihbido, learn about the influence of the German accordion migration to Mexico, discover the story of Lambada, a song that flourished but never gave credit to its Bolivian folk song origins, discussions of Latin music centers of Latin booms, like Miami and New York, and celebrations of queer club spaces, where a lot of emerging artists made their start.
Throughout, Vero and Pérez also integrate their own personal musical journeys, looking at how their experiences shaped their taste in music growing up and now as adults. Featuring illustrations by Vero, this book is as lively and passionate as the music and content itself—and is a must for those looking for a deeper appreciation of the music that moves us, both on the dancefloor, and in life.
