Summary

Today, we're talking to Alana Cassanova-Burgess, co-creator, host, and producer of La Brega, the critically acclaimed and pioneering dual-language podcast about Puerto Rico. She'll tell us all about Season 2 of the podcast La Brega: The Puerto Rican Experience in Eight Songs. From the lyrical boleristas of the 1930s, to the electric salseros of the ’70s, to the reggaetoneros of today who have taken music from the margins and made it a global sensation, this season takes listeners on an exciting, richly-reported, cross-genre adventure that captures the ceaseless creativity, emotional resonance, and yes, la brega that are hallmarks of Puerto Rican music across eras and formats.
