Tune into New Latin Wave for a vibrant and insightful audio journey through the ever-expanding landscape of Latinx creativity. Hosts Camila Montañez and Sokio, the director of New Latin Wave itself, guide each conversation with a genuine curiosity and deep connection to the community they explore. This podcast moves beyond headlines and surface-level trends to uncover the rich, often surprising, currents shaping art, music, identity, and social thought. You'll hear from the artists, thinkers, and makers who are actively defining what it means to be Latinx today, offering perspectives that are as diverse as they are compelling. The discussions feel less like interviews and more like dropping in on a compelling conversation between friends who are deeply invested in the culture's future. Each episode is a deep dive into a specific facet of this cultural multiverse, whether it's an emerging musical genre, a groundbreaking visual artist, or a critical community dialogue. Produced by the New Latin Wave collective, the audio itself is crafted with an ear for the sounds and rhythms that give this movement its pulse. For anyone interested in the forces shaping contemporary society and culture from a Latinx lens, this podcast provides an essential and engaging listen. It’s a space where the cool isn't just observed but understood, unpacked, and celebrated. Find New Latin Wave wherever you get your podcasts.
