Editor's Note: To commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month this year, World Cafe is going on a musical tour of Latin America. Every weekday from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, we'll spotlight the music of a different Latin American country with a curated playlist of essential tracks, fresh voices and wild cards.
Colombia also boasts some of the biggest stars in Latin American music. This playlist includes hits from Juanes, Carlos Vives, Shakira and Karol G, who broke streaming records this year with her album Mañana Será Bonito.
Every now and then, our playlists could use some freshening up. Bad Bunny and Maluma are here to help you out with that. To mark the beginning of Our Heritage Month (Sep. 15), the global superstars are partnering with TIDAL to curate exclusive playlists and highlight their favorite Latina artists.
Listeners can enjoy a variety of programs that showcase the best of Bachata music, with expertly curated playlists and knowledgeable hosts. The station's commitment to providing high-quality content has made it a favorite among Bachata enthusiasts around the world.
Everything on this playlist is close to realism, but actively resists it through the speculative: asking what if? Zombies, demons, doppelgangers, and cyborg monstrosities dominate these stories. These worlds feel contemporary, perhaps 5 minutes into the future, or 5 degrees to the left or right from our current axis, spinning round the sun. Patriarchy, racism, capitalism all seem to remain untouched.
