We are a podcast unearthing the stories of Afro-Latin music and dance. We believe that learning the history and listening to the stories of those who created our dance is just as important as learning the dance itself. We are diving into the history, the roots, and the issues through conversations with dancers, musicians, and scholars. Come with us on this journey as we learn from our guests on Roots, Rhythm, &amp; Soul.
