Tequila And The Theremin: A Day In The Life Of Alt.Latino

By Jasmine Garsd, NPR/alt.latino

This week on Alt.Latino, we had a little too much fun.

We started off by hanging out with Los Macuanos, a DJ trio from Tijuana who taught us how to properly drink tequila. (Well, taught Jas. Felix, a.k.a. “El Sensei,” needs no teaching.) Los Macuanos’ members talked to us about their music and the history of the theremin, which they use to great effect on their awesome new album. Also, you’re going to want to tune in to hear me try to say “theremin” after a shot of tequila.

We spin some amazing new records, including a cool and unusual mash-up of Brazilian funk and klezmer music, a new Peruvian hip-hop duo that has me squealing like a fangirl, and an Austin folksinger highly recommended by Felix.
