US Latino Pop Stars Singing In Spanish: A Business Move or A Cultural Rediscovery?

03.25.2018 | By |

You’ve heard them – Miguel, Demi Lovato, Becky G, Jennifer Lopez – all US Latino pop stars who randomly decided to sing in Spanish. Why? What were the reasons behind it? Is it a money-grabbing business move or is it a genuine rediscovery of their cultural roots? Music journalist Isabela Raygoza and I explore whether Latino music listeners buy into their strategy to reach them in their language or if it stinks of commerce. In this podcast episode, we discuss if US Latino pop stars singing in Spanish are being disingenuous about their love of their roots or if they are for real.

Podcast: Bomba Estéreo Talks ‘AYO’ And Spanglish

08.18.2017 | By |

We’re sending our love and prayers to the people of Barcelona who suffered a senseless terrorist attack. But on a lighter note, this is probably one of the best podcast shows we’ve done. We chat with Mesfin Fekadu, music editor of the Associated Press, who broke the story about Despacito not being nominated at this year’s VMAs. Did this happen because of cultural bias? We dissect all the variables, along with some of our thoughts on whether MTV should start playing Spanish-language music videos. Then I talk to Colombia’s hottest band of the moment, Bomba Estéreo, about their new album AYO, music and race, coca leaves, payola in the music business, and their love for the street language of Spanglish.

Romeo Santos ‘GOLDEN’ Album Review

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.
