A moment for Los Angeles
Los Angeles is home for me and always in my heart. Watching the fires from afar in my current city, New York, has me thinking a lot about what makes my hometown great: breathtaking mountains, stunning beaches and above all a hodgepodge, tapestry community that comes together in powerful ways during a painful moment.The good and bad of LA's history — redlining and rebuilding, previous fires and displacement, immigration and annexation — have all been building blocks for an exchange of culture that shows up in layers in its music and art. This week on Alt.Latino, we've decided to shine a light on some of the sounds that feel most quintessentially LA, while also specifically honoring the creativity that has come from communities most affected by the fires.We're thinking of family and friends, and the beating heart of the city as a whole. There's nothing quite like LA and we hope this episode is an intro to some and an invitation for others to celebrate what makes it so special. —Anamaria SayreSongs featured on this episode:•José Feliciano, "California Dreamin"•Ry Cooder feat. Lalo Guerrero, "Barrio Viejo"•Banda MS feat. Becky G and Snoop Dogg, "Que Maldicion"•Jasper Bones, "Amor de mis sueños"•Gerardo Ortiz, "Dámaso"•Empress Of, "For Your Consideration"Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
