The Latino Life Podcast. Episode 4

This week we return to Diaspora  Music, and some of the amazing music being produced by Venezuelans  around the world due to the country’s current talent exodus. We  listen to the incredible story of Laura Guevara, winner of Venezuela’s  Pepsi Award in 2017 (the equivalent to our Mercury Prize) and her  gruelling experience as a migrant, including a stint in a Mexican jail,  after her protest activity forced her to leave. We celebrate Astor PIazzolla who turned 100 this week. And  we also interview world-renowned DJ and producer Michel Cleis, whose  track ‘La Mezcla’ using a Toto La Momposina sample, became one of the  biggest house tracks of the last 15 years and made him a household name.  He tells us about his new reworking of Natalia Lafourcade’s ‘Tu Si  Sabes Quererme’ And finally we bring you our choice of the latest UK and international releases Don’t miss our great stories and great music!
