BEAT LATINO: The Reinas of Regional Mexican, Past and Present
A Beat Latino devoted to true trailblazers! Inspired by a set of interviews for a piece I wrote for Grammy.com, “Meet the Gen Z Women Claiming Space in the Regional Mexican Movement“, this Beat Latino shares their music as well as the music of trailblazing singers and composers of the Regional Mexican movement who shone a light on the path to follow. Includes these artist’s faves and a few of mine too. All hail the Reinas of Regional Mexican, past and present! Enjoy!
