The Albums:
We wanted to dedicate an episode to talking about the music of
summer, easily the one season that people have the deepest sonic
associations with. To that aim, we invited the two founding members
of L.A.'s Quetzal,
Martha Gonzalvez and Quetzal Flores. Since 1992, the group has
melded the son jarocho tradition into all
manners of other genres, resulting in seven albums (and counting),
including last year's The
Eternal Getdown.
Together, each of our quartet got to pick an album that we
associate with the summer and as you see above, we covered a
whirlwind of styles and eras that bring up all manners of thoughts
and feelings for us. Summer love may be fleeting but it lingers,
always.
