Episode 170: Nueva York, Part 2

It’s the 1990s in NYC. The mix of people, social and political conditions, and money from the music industry collide to make the beginnings of genres that are staples of Latinx popular music today. This week, on part two of our two-part series on Nueva York’s influence on Latinx music, we take you from the ‘90s to the early 2000s: merenhouse, global pop bachata, and reggaeton.

Featuring music by Proyecto Uno, Aventura, Judy Santos and Tego Calderon.
