This week’s Beat Latino is a tribute to the city of Paris, mythic city of unparalleled beauty in architecture and spirit, and a symbol for all of romance, freedom and pure joie de vivre.
The week’s selection includes songs about loving Paris in different seasons, French salsa and music from Latin musicians who have found a home in Paris.
May the city of light and its architectural treasures continue to shine in wonder for us all.
