Hosts Erin and Jacob talk about an important moment of music history in the United States called The Latin Explosion. This time was full of amazing Spanish speaking artists making their debut into the English speaking market, and the world was never the same after. They discuss hits by people such as Ricky Martin, Shakira, Christina Aguilera, and more! Also, Erin puts on her favorite teacher sweater in order to teach us all a little bit about Cinco de Mayo and the words “Latin” vs “Hispanic”. Don’t forget to turn in your homework on time!
