LA BAMBA: THE AFRO-MEXICAN STORY
https://afropop.org/audio-programs/la-bamba-the-afro-mexican-story
Much has been made of Mexico's rich Spanish and indigenous heritage, but until recently, there's been little talk of Mexico's so-called "Third Root": Africa. Africans came to Mexico with the Spanish as soldiers and slaves - so many that by 1810, the black population of Mexico was equal to that of the United States. Today, African heritage persists throughout Mexico, yet for a variety of reasons, black history has long been silenced. In this Hip Deep episode, we use music to explore that history as we take a road-trip across the country in search of sonic traces of Afro-Mexico.

From salsa to punk and jazz to hip-hop, Latino contributions to American popular music are present everywhere, and now they are celebrated in a book titled American Sabor: Latinos and Latinas in US Popular Music.
American Sabor began as an interactive music exhibit in 2007 containing a variety of interviews with Latino musicians, costumes and instruments played by the very people who made history. By 2011, the exhibit made its way to the Smithsonian Latino Center in Washington, D.C. In 2017. the exhibit was transformed into a book—a colorful encyclopedia of music filled with the artists, musical styles, and communities that have influenced American soundscapes. And it’s a bilingual experience with Spanish on the left pages and English on the right.

LATINO USA PODCAST: LATIN HEROES OF ROCK & ROLL
https://www.latinousa.org/2019/03/27/latinoheroes/
When we talk about what made rock & roll as we know it, the most common description is: a mixture of R&B, a predominantly black genre, and country, a predominantly white genre. But the sound is not as black and white as many think.
In this episode, Latino USA explores the Latino influences that helped shape rock & roll dating back to the 1950s. We also profile unsung Latino rock artists who had a hand in crafting the sound—from riot girl Alice Bag to David Bowie’s right-hand man guitarist Carlos Alomar.

Rissi Palmer has lived and breathed country music her whole life.

On her radio show Color Me Country, the singer-songwriter brings to the forefront the Black, Indigenous, and Latinx histories of country music that for too long have lived outside the spotlight and off mainstream airwaves.
