Our Editor's Take

Hit Nation Radio Hosted By Gus Gomez treats listeners to Latin beats and music. DJ Gus Gomez mixes classic Latin styles with newer genres on each podcast episode. Its Latin urban music keeps the party going. American hip-hop from Los Angeles and New York offers fun interruptions. Listeners can get ready to groove to the beat, whether walking on the street, cleaning the house, or driving on the freeway.

Podcast descriptions let listeners know which styles to expect. They may be in the mood for reggae, reggaeton, or vallenato. Either way, the title of each episode helps listeners choose the music for their mood. They can hear Gomez's latest mixes or older music from Latin America.

One podcast episode is "Salsa & Bachata." Those new to Latin music may need to familiarize themselves with these genres. Bachata, for instance, comes from the Dominican Republic. It has its origins in European music from Spain as well as indigenous Taino and African elements. Listeners can see in Bachata the many influences on Dominican culture.

Many may already be familiar with salsa. The "Salsa & Típico" podcast episode mixes in another, lesser-known type of beat. Típico is a merengue style that is also Dominican. It's the oldest form of merengue, and many musicians prefer it to new techniques. Classic típico instruments include the bass guitar, güira, tambora drum, congo drum, and accordion.

"Reggaeton, Afrobeats & Dembow" provides an excellent sample of the podcast's varied styles. Dembow is all about rhythm. Music experts trace it back to Jamaican dance halls. The genre started to form when Shabba Ranks released the single "Dem Bow" in 1990. After becoming popular in the Dominican Republic, the sound came to New York. Now, music lovers appreciate it all over. With its Afrobeats and reggaeton, the episode may keep listeners moving.

Listeners who like to dance may have a great time with Hit Nation Radio Hosted By Gus Gomez. New episodes drop each week.
