My predecessor Kris Shiflet had this really cool weekly playlist story for every issue. So I figured I’d give it a shot. This is my personal taste in Latin American music, mostly orienting towards northern Mexican, Cuban, Columbian, house music, classical folkloric, and mariachi music. I hope you all enjoy!
