Summer is finally here, at least in spirit, so Alt.Latino returns with a cool mix engineered for maximum soothing. We've got Cuban soul remixed, some fluffy Mexican pop and a great little song about an Argentine who falls asleep in the Paraguayan jungle.

So tune in — and, as always, let us know what music you're using to keep yourselves cool.
