A Sensory Journey Through Latin America
Listen now
Description
Hollywood might be America’s greatest soft power export, but when it comes to the depiction of Latin America and its culture, the mega film industry has largely served to harden shallow stereotypes about a diverse region and its people. Which is why, to truly get Latino culture, you need to tune out of popular — and often sadly inaccurate — American tropes and tune in to today’s Daily Dose. Indigenous rappers, quinoa sushi and cannabis-infused teas are transforming Latin America’s cultural and gastronomic landscape even as brave activists work to preserve the region’s astonishing natural beauty. Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by diving deeper than salsa rhythms, Caribbean beaches and pisco sour for a sensorial journey to a stunning part of the world that’s in flux.
