New holiday classics for your playlists

Betto Arcos gives us the gift of holiday-inspired bangers, straight from Mexico’s emerging alternative scene. Folk and jazz sounds from around the world are reimagined and delivered with passion and punch from artists Amir Moreno, Chalanes del Amor, and Arturo O’Farrill.

KCRW’s Global Beat: México takes you from the clubs of CDMX to the fresh Monterrey scene to the shores of Veracruz and beyond to discover the best new artists you probably haven’t heard yet. Supercharge your playlists and enjoy the journey with KCRW DJ Raul Campos and our curators, Mexico City DJ and music supervisor Junf, festival director and music consultant Monica Saldaña, and NPR’s Betto Arcos.
