    ENCORE: Rage
    2024/11/21
    There have been so many emotions since the reelection of the orange chupacabra—fear, sadness, grief and yes—anger. As everyone gears up for the fight to come, we’re revisiting an 2022 episode from one of the most impactful impacts of his first administration—the Supreme Court’s reversal of 50 years of legal precedent for the right to abortion. Listen in for songs that connect us to our rage, our grief and our joy amidst what feels like constant disaster. Featuring music by La India, Kelis, Sergio George’s Salsa Giants, Mediopicky, Don Omar, La Lupe and Daddy Yankee.

  • ENCORE: F Fascism

    ENCORE: F Fascism
    2024/11/06
    So...things are feeling more than a little fascist in the USA right now. Todo mal, pero no a falta de resistencia. This week we are re-running an episode from last year in which we talk about the global rise of fascism, historical context around the ebbs and flows of progress and backlash, and of course, the soundtrack of resistance. Whether it’s the musicians who resisted the 1960’s rise of right-wing dictators in Latin America as part of the Nueva Canción movement, artists who are making political resistance music today, or songs that might not be outright political at all, but help us see (and feel!) what a better future might look like—music is here to fuel us as we fight back. Featuring music by Mercedes Sosa, Ana Macho, Rafa Pabön, Ana Tijoux ft Shadia Mansour, La Santa Cecilia, Javiera Mena, Helado Negro, and Xenia Rubinos.

  • ENCORE: La Nueva Canción

    ENCORE: La Nueva Canción
    2024/11/05
    This week we're re-running an episode exploring the Latin American folk music movement that was La Nueva Canción. Fueled by leftist politics and the integration of indigenous musical elements and instruments, La Nueva Canción produced incredible and inspirational folk music across the region and continues to influence the music we love today. ***Also, we had a math struggle this epi! Violeta Parra was born in 1917, so she was actually in her 50s when she died, not in her 30s! Thank you Christina for pointing it out :) Featuring music by Violeta Parra, Carlos Varela, Atahualpa Yupanqui, Ali Primera, Lourdes Pérez and Victor Jara.

  • Ep 262: La Colectiva Feminista

    Ep 262: La Colectiva Feminista
    2024/10/23
    We’re back with a brand new episode, this time an interview with Shariana Ferrer-Núñez, co-founder of La Colectiva Feminista en Contrucción, a Puerto Rican grassroots group. They were very involved in the 2019 protests that forced the resignation of Governor Ricky Roselló, protests that utilized what came to be known as “perreo combativo.” It’s a really great conversation with Shariana about their broader political work and the role of things like reggaeton and perreo in organizing. The interview is in Spanish. Featuring music by Guaynaa, Kevvo, Farruko and Ankhal. Show notes: bit.ly/48lFKAC Follow us: instagram.com/RadioMenea newsletter: bit.ly/RMjoin

    ENCORE: Mediopicky
    2024/10/18
    This week, we’re re-running a conversation we had with a very special guest: Dominican rapper, producer, and podcast fave Mediopicky. We talked back in 2021 (¡en español!) about his latest releases, collaborations, growing up in a household of four women, and the wide range of music that shaped his sound. He just put out a new album, "el precio de la yuca" earlier this fall — highly recommend — and we thought it was a great time to revisit our chat.
