Alt.Latino

This week's episode is a tribute to host Felix Contreras, who just received the Hispanic Heritage Award for Journalism from the Hispanic Heritage Foundation.

Mabe Fratti & Mustafa) • Draco Rosa, "Quiero Vivir" • Caetano Veloso, "Voce E Linda" (Remixed Original Album) • Tim Bernardes, "BB (Garupa de Moto Amarela)" • Tim Bernardes, "Última Vez" • Santana, "Goodness and Mercy" • Xavi, "Ojitos de Miel" • Los Lobos, "Bertha" (Live at the Carefree Theatre, 1992) This podcast was produced by Noah Caldwell.
