Latin music has never been bigger, but it's always been big on Alt Latino.

15 years in, we continue celebrating Latinidad through a music lens, transcending borders

through Rhythm.

Get to know artists from La Cultura on a deeper level and throw some new Latin music wrecks

into your rotation.

Listen to Alt Latino in the NPR app or wherever

you get your podcasts. All right, all songs considered. I'm Robin Hilton, Stephen Thompson here to talk about

our number one songs from the past 25 years of the show. It's good to be here, Robin. So we are

almost done. We've just got a couple more years that we're going to talk about, starting with the year 2023 now. And, you know, as we're getting into the final stretch here,

I'll just remind people, these are not the Billboard Hot 100 hits, the number one songs like that.

These are just the songs that meant the most to us from that year or take us back to that time,

or really, you know, sort of speak to the identity

of all songs considered since we are celebrating the show's 25th anniversary.

Since we are here celebrating ourselves.

Celebrating it's all about us. What do you think of when you think of music in 2023?

I've got a handful of things here, but I'll let you go first.

Well, and when I think of a 2023, I think of an album that had a little bit of a slow burn and really blew up in 2024.

I'm going to go with this.

She showed me things

I didn't know

She did it right there
