El Sonido’s Albina Cabrera on aLex vs aLex’s Mesmerizing R&

Host Evie Stokes sits down with KEXP DJ and host of the El Sonido: Cancioneros podcast, Albina Cabrera, to talk about the music that’s moving her. Albina also shares more about KEXP’s upcoming Aqui y Ahora programming, a month dedicated to amplifying the contributions, resilience, and music of Latinx, Hispanic, and Latino-identified communities worldwide.

Albina’s first selection this week comes from the New York- and Berlin-based Guatemalan artist aLex vs aLex. Evie and Albina gush over the project’s lush sound and aLex vs aLex’s role in the current R&B revival.
