From NPR Music, this is Alt Latino. I'm Felix Contreras, and it's that time of the year.

Time to look back at the year that was in music and talk about some of the albums that made

an impression on us. And by us, this year, I am surrounded by good friends

who also happen to be music geeks like me.

Now let's go around the Brady Bunch Zoom Squares

and introduce our guest.

Let's start with you, Anna.

Hi, I'm Anna Maria.

I'm excited to be here with all of these lovely ladies talking about this amazing music.

Hi, I'm Stephanie Fernandez. It's so good to be back on a Latino talking about the best music of the year.

Buenas. I'm Isabella Gomez-Serviento, so excited for this conversation this year.

Hello, Catalina Maria Johnson. Really excited to be here. It's the best time of the year.

Thanks, Felix.

Thanks, ladies.

Ladies and one gentleman.

Saludos, I'm Marisa, Arbona Ruiz,

and I'm always excited to be part of the best of whatever year.
