Down-Ballot Races At The Latin Grammys, With Alt.Latino

Latin Grammy awards are awarded in over 48 categories. The one that get the most recognition are, of course, the popular music categories. But I always find myself scanning way down the list to find new and fascinating sounds that I would never be exposed to otherwise.

Hear our conversation on Weekend Edition Sunday at the audio link, and check out the music below.
