Paola Ramos interviews Julyssa Lopez about the rise of Latin music and its influence on American culture.
Paola Ramos sits down with Rolling Stone’s Deputy Music Editor, Julyssa Lopez, to unpack how Latin music is capturing these cultural and political times. Julyssa lays out the argument that Latin music and Spanish-language songs topping the charts have become a lasting force that has consistently shaped American culture. The two journalists discuss Shakira’s four consecutive World Cup performances and how reggaeton continues to reinvent itself through emerging subgenres like reggaeton darks and cumbia goth.
