Mexico

Mexico City's emerging musical talent including Eptos One, ZoΓ©, Caloncho, Julieta Venegas and Centavrus.

Mexico City is fast becoming the melting pot for all Latin American artists and the local music scene is renowned as one of the richest and most diverse in the region. We listen to the sharp lyrics of rapper Eptos One and his dark take on Mexico’s current situation; the rock anthems of Zoé, Mexico’s biggest rock band; and the laid back summer sounds of happy go lucky artist Caloncho. Plus, we talk to the diva of Mexican pop, Julieta Venegas; and Centavrus is in the studio to make electronic regional music.

Rafael heads to cafes, galleries, squares, concerts, recording studios and even taxis to talk to some of the most promising bands of the Mexican music scene - from the revival of 1970s Sonido Gallo Negro, to the slick alternative pop of Hello Seahorse and the indie rock of Little Jesus.
