In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Nacional Records, the independent label that has made Latin alternative music part of the American mainstream, I play two hours of my Nacional favorites including Systema Solar, Mexican Institute of Sound, Bomba Estéreo, Nortec Collective, Hip Hop Hoodios, Manu Chao and lots of deep cuts as well
