Anitta & Rosalia on the borders of Latin pop
When it comes to distinguishing what exactly Latin music is, what makes the cut? To some, it\u2019s simply music from the Latin American region, and to others, it\u2019s any music that is sung in Spanish \u2013 but much like the pop canon, the phrase encapsulates so many different eras, styles, and genres.\n\nLike any distinction, there\u2019s also music on the periphery: specifically, the music of Brazil, where the sounds are similar but the main language is different, and Spain, where the history of colonization looms over the country\u2019s relationship with Latin America, raising controversial questions of appropriation.\xa0\n\nNonetheless though, music from both countries has made big waves amongst U.S. listeners on Latin radio stations and at award shows. Anitta\u2019s record Versions of Me has been finding success on streaming and the radio, while Rosal\xeda\u2019s MOTOMAMI has become one of the most acclaimed records of the year, winning this year\u2019s Album of the Year award at the Latin Grammys. This episode of Switched on Pop, we take a look at these artists and how they incorporate both native and Latin sounds in their tracks.\n\nVote for the Signal Awards: https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2022/shows/general/music\n\nSONGS DISCUSSED:\xa0\n\nAnitta \u2013 Girl From Rio\n\nRosal\xeda \u2013 DESPECH\xc1\n\nAnitta, Ty Dolla $ign \u2013 Gimme Your Number\n\nMC Marcinho, DJ Marlboro \u2013 Glamourosa (Rap Glamurosa)\n\nM.I.A. \u2013 Bucky Done Gun\n\nAnitta, Papatinho, MC Kevin o Chris, Mr. Catra, YG \u2013\xa0Que Rab\xe3o\n\nAnitta \u2013 Envolver\n\nKarol G \u2013 PROVENZA\n\nRosal\xeda \u2013\xa0MALAMENTE - Cap.1: Augurio\n\nRosal\xeda \u2013 BULER\xcdAS\n\nRosal\xeda \u2013 DELIRIO DE GRANDEZA\n\nJusto Betancourt \u2013 Delirio De Grandeza\n\nTego Calderon \u2013 Al Natural\n\nRosal\xeda \u2013\xa0SAOKO\n\nWisin, Daddy Yankee \u2013 Saoco\n\nRosal\xeda \u2013\xa0CHICKEN TERIYAKI\n\nRosal\xeda \u2013\xa0DIABLO\n\nRosal\xeda, TOKISCHA \u2013 LA COMBI VERSACE\n\nRosal\xeda, The Weeknd \u2013 La Fama\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
