Playlist of the Week: Diving into Hispanic Heritage Month

Playlist of the Week: Diving into Hispanic Heritage Month

Spanning from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, Hispanic Heritage Month is rapidly approaching.

Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the importance of Hispanic and Latino cultural influences worldwide. This ranges from highlighting cultural pride to exploring emotional diversity and vulnerability through the many voices that frame Hispanic cultures.

Shakira brings her classic Latin-American pop style with anthems like “Ojos Así,” which explores musical influences from Arab and Latin cultures. Hailed as the king of Latin trap, Bad Bunny, follows suit with “El Apagón,” delivering a powerful message of Puerto Rican pride through Latin beats and electric synths.

The iconic ranchera writer Vicente Fernández brings a diverse range of emotions to the playlist. From lively classics like “El Rey” to mellow deep cuts like “A Mi Manera,” his music is sure to give you something to indulge in.

Press play and get ready to feel the high-energy and vibrant emotions reflected sonically in this playlist.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism.

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/54088/donations/new?designation_id=faa93386&
