Albina Cabrera: Descartes a kant, La ciencia simple, Melenas, Los Cogelones

As KEXP kicks off Aqui y Ahora – our special programming for Latinx Heritage Month – we welcome Albina Cabrera back to the podcast to talk about the kick-off day's on-air programming, as well as KEXP’s Mexico City broadcast, taking place in October. We spotlight four of the bands playing the El Sonido Live event on October 19 at Foro Indie Rocks, covering everything from shoegaze to Indigenous punk.

Plus, our Music Director Chris Sanley helps us celebrate Aqui y Ahora with one of the most upbeat tracks on depression we’ve ever had the pleasure to hear.

1. Descartes a kant - “The Mess We’ve Made”
2. La ciencia simple - “Un río interminable”
3. Melenas - “Ahora”
4. Los Cogelones - “Danza Del Sol”
5. Hinds - "En Forma"

Listen to the full songs on KEXP's "In Our Headphones 2024" playlist on Spotify or the “What's In Our Headphones” playlist on YouTube.

Listen to El Sonido with Albina Cabrera every Monday from 7-10 PM PT, or anytime on the two-week archive, at KEXP.org or the KEXP App.
