Ep 174: Latin Booms, Part 2
from Radio Menea Hosted by Verónica Bayetti Flores and Miriam Zoila Pérez
It’s 1999. Ricky Martin is about to take the gringo Grammy’s stage with a historic performance. The beginning of what became known as the “Latin Explosion,” it ushered in a new Latin Boom moment. Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, and the rise of commercial reggaeton shortly would follow. The moment passes, and then in 2017: Despacito. Is anything different? In part two of our Latin Boom series, we detail the rise of Latin artists to the American mainstream from the new millennium to the current moment. Featuring music by Ricky Martin, Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi, Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Santana and Rob Thomas.
