You know what's the worst, Felix?

We think we're so hilarious.

And probably no one else does.

No one else does.

No one else does.

I can guarantee you.

Nobody laughs at my jokes or stories the way you do.

Okay, we are we? From NPR music, this is Alt-Latino. I'm Felix Contreras. And I'm Anna Maria Sayer. Let the chisemet begin. Felix, you better have some chis-may for me. Yeah, the chis-me-a-chis-me. There's this giant meteor. Oh, God. Anything but this. Feel it. Yes. Oh, my God. I'm just, I'm obsessed with it. It's the size of Manhattan. It's hurtling through our solar system. It came from outside of our solar system, which means it came from deep space. It's like billions, a quadrillion years old. Okay. Is it coming towards Earth or what's happening?

It's not coming toward Earth. We don't need to worry about it. I'm just fascinated. It's not going to hit us. It's not going to cause any problem. God knows who sent it. I'm curious. Aliens. All that to say, that's what I'm thinking about. But I'm also thinking about new music, which is what we're going to do this week.

Okay.

I now remember what my first pick was, and it is a big deal because I've been waiting for 25 million thousand years to play this album. Let's hear it. Milo Jota. This kid is 19 years old.

past few years as kind of just like a big name. You know what I mean? Like a big name with an

interesting sound. He does mostly a rap style adjacent type of thing, rap, hip hop, but like with a

little bit more of an acoustic sense already sells out stadiums in Argentina.

So he's one of those that I'm like, okay, I'm aware, but I've never really brought him on the show because he doesn't quite, you know, fit our style, Felix, let's just say, until this album.

So before I get to the actual album, I'm going to play you a little sample of what he typically

sounds like. This is his track, Olimpo. that I know you know see and I looked at one eyes with an o'clock an oldlescent.

Recurred the monotonia that had when I contemplar to come inamor me and I'm I'm let's know because reprimed your sentiments with the accuses to get in a book of to knowcerns seeing of our differences but no forgets that we're not We're enamored because we're different
