    Alt.Latino: Jorge Drexler returns home

    Jorge Drexler is one of the most decorated singer-songwriters in Latin America. His albums are always high profile events, and his latest record merits the attention. It's called Taracá, and to make it he returned home to his native Uruguay - after living in Spain for 30 years - to explore the roots of an Afro-Uruguayan tradition known as candombe. On this week's episode we chat with Drexler about the motivation for returning to his home country, making music after losing his parents, and how the album's title reflects the sound made by a candombe drum.

    NPR Music+: "Not Ready to Make Nice" by The Chicks

    In the early 2000s, The Chicks (then known as The Dixie Chicks) were one of the biggest crossover acts in country music. But then, as the U.S. was embarking on a war in the Middle East, one onstage comment changed the world of the band forever.  But facing controversy wasn’t a new thing for this group (nor was it the last time they would be condemned), and they chose to respond in their music. This week, NPR Music critic Ann Powers and editor Daoud Tyler-Ameen discuss “Not Ready to Make Nice” by The Chicks, from 2006.  To access this episode and every episode in this series, plus get sponsor-free listening for every episode of All Songs Considered and Alt.Latino, sign up for NPR Music+ at plus.npr.org/nprmusic.

    Alt.Latino: Dominican indie, Peruvian cumbia and experimental Argentine pop

    Two phrases spoken during this week’s episode stand out because they represent how Ana and I approach our searches for new music. The first: “The only limit is the imagination.” In my constant hunt for the sound I have never heard, this thought is my mantra. The new music we’re bringing this week really steps up to that challenge, from young upstarts like Broke Carrey to beloved veterans like Draco Rosa. The second phrase? “Latin music is a geography not a genre.” Ana put into words something she and I talk about often, the idea that the term “Latin music” is no longer adequate to reflect that amazingly eclectic forms of musical expression in the Spanish-speaking world. This episode features musicians from Argentina, Peru, the Dominican Republic and elsewhere -- but what they share is a distinct artistic expression that consistently blows our minds.
