Episode 176: Miami, Part 1

How did a small South Florida city become such a Latinx metropolis? Starting with the massive migration of Cubans after the revolution, Miami has become a cultural center for Latinx entertainment, including music. In Part 1 of a two-part series we talk about the origins and evolution of Miami’s Latin music scene, from very local Cuban rock bands to national crossover hits.

Featuring music by Brillo Frometá, Coke, Conjunto Impacto, Hansel y Raúl, Miami Sound Machine and Willy Chirino.
