“Dance music from the Latin diaspora is making waves into the European scene – but who’s really profiting from the boom? This week OttO Kent talks to the Venezuelan writer and deputy editor of Crack Magazine Rachel Grace Almeida about the long-overdue attention that Latin American artists are getting, and why it’s problematic to lump all these artists and countries into one box. Plus: Bad Bunny speaking out against queer baiting accusations, Chioma Nnadi as the first black woman to lead British Vogue, Brian Eno calling out James Blake for using the asshole chord, and a new Spotify feature that sounds a lot like payola.
