Hola, may we introduce you to PanameriKa, Red Bull Music Academy Radio's weekly window to the exciting and colourful cosmos of Latin American music and its protagonists.

PanameriKa is... the star on Ché Guevara’s beret, a tickle on your stomach from the stolen Montezuma’s feather crown, Maradona’s header aided by the hand of God in '86, a golden apple that you won't find on Carmen Miranda's cornucopia-hat, and what's hidden beneath a mariachi's sombrero. Whatever implications you might have made on things worn on the head around the Americas, put a pair of headphones on, and let us blow your mind with a true selection from the new sound booming all along PanameriKa. Presented by Reactor 105.7's glamorously-voiced señorita Elvis (yes, it can also be a girl’s name around there), and a team of music-luchadores, PanameriKa is selected, written and produced by Uriel Waizel in the Ibero 90.9 radio studios in Mexico City, with the technical post-production savvy of 'Fo', and the assistance of Jimena Albert.

Every Tuesday at 0.00 am (CET), PanameriKa will provide you with an enlightening array of references on the bountiful production of music coming from this side of the planet. Atención, though: Spanish is spoken here, but then again, you may skip those classes this way, and save some dinero, amigo!

Tune in to the latest edition of PanameriKa or browse our archive for all prior instalments featuring everything from Flamenco-heavy hip hop to Chilean garage rock to raved-up Bondo do Role refixes.
