In this podcast series we will discuss a bit, no ok a lot of the history of Latin America and Los Angeles and how rock en español plays a big part in this history.At times the lyrics are the recording of this history and other times, the lyrics and the bands become part of some of the big social movements in places like Chile, Argentina, Mexico and by the 1990s Los Angeles too.In exploring these historical moments, crises, and upheavals as well as the struggles of the youth of Latin America and the U.S. we can see what freedom, democracy, and human rights mean to people how they are represented in songs and at the concert stages.You will hear from professors who have studied this music and fans who first heard this music in the 1990s. But as you can imagine we are a bit, well older. So, we will also hear from young people who will examine the legacies of this music in our present moment.So, join on our podcast on The power of Rock en Español and the Desire for Democracy.
