    Encore: Luzmila Carpio
    Jul 19 2024
    This month we’re bringing you some of our favorite episodes focused on indigenous music, and this week we’re bringing back a deep dive into Luzmila Carpio, an indigenous Bolivian singer. Her songs, inspired by the sounds of bird song, streams, and the land she grew up on, have brought Quechua and Aymara sonic traditions and stories of indigenous resistance around the globe. Featuring music by Luzmila Carpio, Captain Planet, Pusisuyu Sikuthalas, and Nicola Cruz. Show notes: Follow us: instagram.com/RadioMenea twitter.com/RadioMenea newsletter: bit.ly/RMjoin

    Encore: Indigenous Artists
    Jul 12 2024
    Originally aired during the thanksgiving season, we're bringing back this early days Indigenous artists episode for a lil indigenous summer series. We're giving you a little antidote to colonialist revisionist history by bringing indigenous artists who are making music that emphasizes their roots, integrating indigenous languages, instrumentation, and cultural references. We hope that you'll hear evidence that the colonial project has failed - indigenous cultures today are alive despite it all, and this small sampling of dynamic and diverse bodies of work is a tiny taste of that lucha.

    Ep 257: We're writing a book!
    Jun 7 2024
    This week we’re sharing some big chisme: We are writing a book!!!! And not just a regular degular book, but an illustrated, choose-your-own-adventure exploration of the impact of Latinx music on US culture and US culture on Latinx music. In today’s episode we talk through the process that got us here, and give you a little taste of the kind of things we are going to cover through some of our favorite songs. We wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for all of your support for this project over the last 8 years — those of you who’ve listened, who’ve donated and bought our merch, who’ve posted about us and written about us — y estamos muy agradecides. 🥹 We’re so happy to get to finally talk about this project (that has been in the works for literal years!) and are muy excited to bring it to you in 2025. Featuring music by Son by Four, Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe, Marc Anthony, Hector El Father, Yomo, Gloria Estefan, Juan Gabriel, Victor Victor and Carmen Delia Delpini.
