The Livin' Is Easy: A Summer Solstice Mixtape

NPR | By Felix Contreras

Published June 25, 2015 at 11:03 AM CDT

The Summer Solstice seems like as good a reason as any to dig into the mail for some new music. Alt.Latino co-host Jasmine Garsd is traveling on assignment, but she did leave behind a few tracks to share on this week's episode, including something new from our favorite artist of the year so far, Kali Uchis.

This playlist features a mix of new names, familiar faces, and even some esoteric grooves from the Peruvian underground electronic scene. From the EDM clubs of Lima to the hip-hop dance halls of Fresno, this week's show has it all. Tune in and enjoy!
