Produced by Afropop Worldwide’s Executive Producer Sean Barlow in collaboration with Afropop Worldwide’s expert field producers—Ned Sublette, Marlon Bishop, and Alex Wolfe—we focus on the awesome music of the Afro-Latin world.
These songs are featured in Afropop Worldwide’s specially curated four-part selection of historically based programs designed to help stations—carrying and non-carrying—celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15–Oct. 15) and some of the outstanding musical moments of the pan-Latin world, north and south of the border. Contact your PRX rep to pick up this series at no cost. Time’s a-wasting! Favorite Barackaism: “Si, se puede!” Si, como no?
