Episode 208: Amor y Amistad

In the USA, Valentine’s day is exclusively focused on romantic love. Pero en América Latina es el día del amor y la amistad, and this Valentine’s day we wanna honor the love and care in friendships. The way our social structures are set up, romantic relationships seem to be set up as the ones that deserve to become the most valuable ones in our lives. We reject that premise. This week, we talk about songs that remind us about the value and radical potential of friendship.

Featuring music by Bad Bunny, Los Enanitos Verdes, Ibeyi, Los 2 de la S, Banda MS, Javiera Mena, El Chaval de la Bachata, Jubilee, Maluca, and Rey Ruiz.
