Evolution of Latin music, Bad Bunny, British Vogue

Dance music from the Latin diaspora is making waves into the European scene – but who’s really profiting from the boom? This week OttO Kent talks to the Venezuelan writer and deputy editor of Crack Magazine Rachel Grace Almeida about the long-overdue attention that Latin American artists are getting, and why it’s problematic to lump all these artists and countries into one box. Plus: Bad Bunny speaking out against queer baiting accusations, Chioma Nnadi as the first black woman to lead British Vogue, Brian Eno calling out James Blake for using the asshole chord, and a new Spotify feature that sounds a lot like payola. The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Host: OttO Kent Writers for this episode: Aaron Gonsher, Carlos Steurer and Jacob SperberEdit and sound design: Marc ÜbelLead Producer: Isabel WoopFollow OttO Kent. Follow Rachel Grace Almeida. Listen to Rachel Grace Almeida’s radio show on NTS. Watch “Talking Robots Into Heaven – a conversation between James Blake and Brian Eno”. Watch the documentary “Future Sound Of Mzansi” (Part 1, 2, and 3). Watch “The Scare Tactics of Spoek Mathambo: at TEDxSoweto 2011.
