Today the Alt.Latino familia presents a program that pulls from our vast archive of interviews and historical deep-dives.

This week we celebrate Black History Month with an episode featuring two interviews with Afro-Latinx pioneers: Puerto Rican reggaeton icon, Tego Calderon, and Dominican vocalist Amara La Negra. This episode and the series is produced by Alt.Latino intern Cat Sposato.
