On this week’s episode we take a tour through Latin America via the sounds of the incredible accordion. An instrument originally from Germany, it’s been incorporated into so many different genres of Latin American music–vallenato, merengue típico, tango, rancheras y muchos más! This might be our most diverse episode yet.
Things we mentioned on the episode:
- Pérez on the TED Radio Hour
- Vero on In the Thick
