Latin Roots on World Cafe
Latin Roots is a bi-weekly series on the World Cafe program, hosted by David Dye, and made possible by the Wyncote Foundation. In this new series, David Dye explores the vast variety of music from Spanish-speaking countries and people. From the standards like cumbia, mambo and son to Latin rock and even reggaeton, we’ll hear it all.
The series airs every other Thursday during the second hour of the World Cafe program, and will delve into the musical styles and genres of Spanish influence with a rotating series of guests. With each segment, David Dye and his guest will explore two related songs, current and old, and discuss their unique characteristics, how they relate and where they fit into the spectrum of Latin music.
Salsa, With a Difference
Latin music expert, Aaron Luis Levinson sits down with David Dye and shares his take on the music, beat and culture of Salsa. Levinson, a member of the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, is a Grammy-winning producer, musician, composer and owner of Range Recording Studios in Ardmore, PA. You'll hear music from Bio Ritmo and Cortijo on today's segment.
Latin Roots will feature other expert guests including Felix Contreras, a reporter and producer for NPR's Arts Desk and the co-host of Alt.Latino, NPR's new web-based program about Latin alternative music. Tom Moon will also serve as a guest contributor. Moon is a Music Reviewer for NPR and has been writing about pop, rock, jazz, blues, hip-hop and music across the globe for more than 25 years.
For more World Cafe Latin music moments, visit our page at WorldCafe.NPR.org. There you will find links to interviews and performances with artists like Juana Molina, Ximena Sarinana, Ana Tijoux and Puerto Plata, as well as a Spotify playlist inspired by each segment currated by the guest.
The Late Resurgence Of Cumbia
 To introduce us to a corner of Latin roots music called Cumbia, Grammy-winning producer and record
label owner Aaron Levinson is in the studio. Affiliated with a number of professional recording academies and societies,
this internationally known musician also owns a recording studio in Ardmore and has consistently received recognition
for his work with Latin music. In the studio today, Aaron and David talk about the origin and evolution of Cumbia,
including its late resurgence in popularity in New York, and listen to songs by Bomba Estereo and Rodolfo Y Su Tipica.
Cumbia is the manifestation of a melding of cultures, and it originated in Colombia. Mixing the music of native
Colombians, slaves from Africa, and Spanish colonizers, Cumbia first rose to prominence in the 1960s on the coasts of
Colombia. It made its way across the continents, evolving for Mexican and Peruvian listeners, and eventually reaching the
United States in the 21st century. Cumbia enthusiasm was rekindled in Colombia as New York artists began to popularize the
historically courtship dance music. In the interview, Aaron and David explore the many forms of Cumbia--from the hip-hop
elements in today's cumbia to the geographical understanding of cumbia to traditional Cumbia elements of many drums, claves,
guitars, clarinet, and flute.
