This week’s episode is the third volume in Sounds Classical’s “Who Got Next?” series! Kristina and LaRob get together to see if there are Latin American composers writing engaging music in the 21st century and the answer is, of course there are! Join the two hosts as they sample music from composers like Felipe Pérez Santiago, Keyla Orozco, Iván Enrique Rodríguez, and many others, as these artists combine their heritage and culture with classical sounds to breathe new life in this ever expanding field.
