Every week, La Alternativa sponsored by Sparkly Clean Co. delivers the very best from the Latin alternative scene by curating a blend of emerging and established artists within the Latin diaspora, while providing a platform to champion our growing local music scene. Listen on demand here and on 88Nine from 10-11 p.m. every Wednesday.
With this episode dropping during our fall membership drive, we thought we’d join the ’90s-fueled fun and bring some of our favorite tracks from the decade.
Coming from two different perspectives, Kenny reminisced about the house and salsa tracks that were formative in his household during his college days, while Paula (born in the very late 90s) went with the pop and rock vibes her mom gravitated toward. Expect a winding journey of memories, from freestyle-turned-salsero moments to homemade mix CDs.
