The Contenders, Vol. 7: The songs we can't stop playing this week

This week on the show we pause to update our running list of the year's best songs, with a profoundly moving story from Pedro The Lion all about art and beauty and the dreams that drive us. We've also got a classic Cuban piano piece from Dánae Olano, thunderous shoegaze from Wisp, a polyrhythmic cover of Celia Cruz's "Bemba Colorá" from Sheila E. and more.
