Though Drake doesn’t have any Dominican roots, he has experimented with Dominican culture. From the all-white linen ensemble in the “Pop That” video to flashing the DR flag in “Started from the Bottom,” Drizzy clearly has an appreciation. Remezcla writer Isabelia Herrera joins the podcast to discuss Dominican Drake. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Get ready for the real perreo y’all, because on this very special episode we have Remezcla’s own Lana del Reyggaeton in the building! OK, terrible puns aside, the incomparable Isabelia Herrera is a writer and music editor at Remezcla, one of the largest Latinx culture and lifestyle publications in the US. Originally from Chicago, Isabelia has carved a hard earned spot for herself in New York media by curating Remezcla’s exquisitely balanced music content, a mix of mainstream and emerging artists with diasporic appeal and international reach. In addition, her role in brokering ties between Remezcla and organizations like NPR and Apple Music with a goal of increasing Latinx visibility in mainstream media landed her in Forbes' 30 under 30 list for 2017. In today’s conversation, Rich and Bev pick Isabelia’s brain on her love of reggaeton in all its permutations, her thoughts on the evolution of the genre, the musical trends she is currently observing and excited for, and of course, keys to success within music journalism. So sit tight and enjoy as Rich and Bev interview their boss… Featured Artists: Las Sucias, MNTJY, Ozuna, La Favi + Deltatron, Ms. Nina, Kamixlo, and Balún.
