Latin Grammy awards are awarded in over 48 categories. The one that get the most recognition are, of course, the popular music categories. But I always find myself scanning way down the list to find new and fascinating sounds that I would never be exposed to otherwise.

Hear our conversation on Weekend Edition Sunday at the audio link, and check out the music below.
