Alt.Latino host Felix Contreras has been listening to jazz since he was a teen and he says he's never seen so much musical activity in the jazz world by musicians with Latin American roots. So, this week he goes all jazz and explains a few different genres while Anamaria Sayre revisits the popular Argentine band Ca7riel & Paco, who released a song with a title we can't say out loud on the air. (Here's a hint: The word has been in the news this week.)
