Minerva and Fredo talk about the rules of watching TV in a relationship. Fredo tells us about Black influence on Latinx music. Since our African ancestors have had an inextricable and vast influence on our music, this episode focuses mostly on the Dominican Republic. Stay tuned for Part II, where we cover even more genres and more countries in Latin America.
