Alt.Latino: Accordions!

NPR Music

The influence of Eastern Europe immigration in Latin America can be heard in the way the accordion was adapted and adopted in countries like Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Brazil and beyond. This week we take a deep dive into those traditions with our guide, Eduardo Díaz, former director of Latino cultural information for the Smithsonian Institution. Featured artists and songs: • Narciso Martínez, "Nix" • Carlos Vives, "Hijo de Vallenato" • Los Corraleros de Majagual, "La Pollera Colorada" • Luis Gonzaga, "Asa Branca" • Grupo Alma Serrana, "Puerto Tirol" • Francisco Ulloa, "El Farolito" • Tatico Henriquez, "La Invasión de Deiziseis" Credits Audio for this episode of Alt.Latino was edited and mixed by Simon Rentner. Our project manager is Grace Chung. NPR Music's executive producer is Suraya Mohamed. Our VP of Music and Visuals is Keith Jenkins.
