Road-trip ready beats from Veracruz and Guerrero

Betto Arcos is back with tracks from all over Mexico. “Buen Camino” by Laura Murcia celebrates departures, a lost friend, and the Caribbean coastal sounds of Colombia. “Zapatea” from El Monte Adentro is a foot-tapping trip through modern and traditional sounds of Jalapa. And “Estero” by Renee Mooi takes us to the moonlit wetlands of the Costa Chica of Guerrero.

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.
