Summary

The way new music comes to Alt.Latino World Headquarters says a lot about our slight age difference. I still get CDs in the mail, with an occasional music file sent via email. Ana is constantly playing me audio files she gets vial email or texts from her new music sources, very rarely on CD. So while we were busy putting the finishing touches on our fist annual El Tiny takeover of the Tiny Desk Concert series, our mail piled up. Which means we had lots to choose from for this week's new music episode. There's bound to be something that catches your ear and makes you think: 'How did I live without that in my life?"

Featured artists and songs:

- Making Movies, “La Marea” ft. Mireya Ramos

- Teo Planell, “El Mundo Delante de Ti”, “Como Pensarte Mal”

- Ramona and the Holy Smokes, “Esta Herida”, “I Want You To Be My Man”

- Lorea, “Se me ve la cabeza”, “Mi alma sobre la mesa”

- Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Yainer Horta and Joey Calveiro, “Quizás, Quizás, Quizás”

- Martox, “Enganchao de Ti”

This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell. The executive producer of NPR Music is Suraya Mohamed.
