Episode 169: Nueva York, Part 1
New York City has been a critical geography in the U.S. Latine diaspora, and a longtime home for displaced peoples from all over the world. It has led to the creation of globally influential culture, and music is no exception. In part one of a two-part series on Nueva York, we explore the ways that the social and political conditions that created mass movements of people landing in this singular city have shaped the sound of Latine music over the last fifty years. This week: boogaloo, salsa, and hip hop.
Featuring music by Charlie Palmieri, FANIA All Stars, Cheo Feliciano, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Pete Rodriguez, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin.
