07.29.2017 | By |

*This is a US Latino podcast for anyone who enjoys American and Latino pop culture.

In episode 42 of the Highly Relevant Podcast with Jack Rico, we discuss J Balvin’s ‘Mi Gente’. Many people are already calling it the next ‘Despacito’ phenomenon for its potential to become #1 on the HOT 100. So… can it make it to #1?

We also review Romeo Santos‘ new album ‘Golden’ with Isabela Raygoza, Rolling Stone Magazine’s Latina music critic, who also discusses with us her Q&A with Romeo and whether he can make Bachata mainstream in America.

And, how is the Prince Royce tour going? I speak with singer and good friend, Cathia, who is currently touring with him as his backup singer, on an impromptu phone call where she tells me the inside details of the sexy solos she performs with Royce every night, how she got the gig and how she felt to sing in her front of her hometown NY at MSG.

Will Despacito Open Floodgates For More Spanish Music Crossovers?

In episode 41, we ask the question: Will Despacito Open Floodgates For More Spanish Music Crossovers? We talk about Despacito with Senior Media Reporter from the NY POST, Claire Atkinson, to break down for me how the song became that big and how much $$ she thinks Justin Bieber made from this summer hit.

Also, Colombian director Tomas Reyes, who did an English-language documentary about healthy living called BEYOND FOOD, stops by to discuss how you can improve your health by making more educated decisions.
