Latino music has shaped global culture, blending African, Indigenous, and European influences into timeless rhythms that continue to evolve. In this episode of Inspired Voices, I sit down with Diego Avilez—musician, composer, and director of Oak City Music Collective—to explore the history of salsa, reggaeton, bachata, and more. We dive into how migration, resistance, and innovation fueled the rise of these genres, from the streets of New York to the world stage. Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, or music lover, this deep dive into Latino music’s roots will inspire, educate, and challenge how you think about music, culture, and success. 🎤🔥
