Spanish through music + pop culture of Latin America, Part IV

Milo J - Trap, folklore and the voices he brought back

Fourth round of the language workshop.
This time: a 19-year-old from the greater Buenos Aires area enters the largest festival stage in Latin America - something like the continent's Eurovision - with an altar for Víctor Jara, Mercedes Sosa and Violeta Parra. He sings trap, Argentinian folklore and brings along a murga group from Uruguay, whose carnival carries the rhythm of candombe: Music that African slaves brought to the Río de la Plata in the 18th century.
Months later, the same artist ends up on NPR's Tiny Desk, the most prestigious concert format on US public radio - and his performance becomes one of the most-watched episodes of the series.

We listen to music, look at who Milo J brings on stage - and why - and talk in Spanish about folklore, murga and the voices he wanted to revitalise.

Native speakers and learners work together in groups.
Recommended from B1. Curiosity is enough.
