LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST: And now we re going to take you into a world of new music with our friends at Alt.Latino, who always bring us the best recommendations. And reporting for duty is, of course, Alt.Latino host Felix Contreras. Hello.
FELIX CONTRERAS, BYLINE: Good morning, Lulu. How are you?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: I am well. Who are we going to start listening to? Who s this?
CONTRERAS: This is Argentine vocalist Sofia Rei. She s got a new album called Umbral. And it was five years in the making. And she did it after a backpack trip across eastern Chile with her recording gear. She collected folk music from musicians she d encountered along the way. And she matches that up with her own mix of electronic, ambient and soul. It s an intoxicating album produced with her musical partner JC Maillard. This track is called La Caida.
