The World is marking the new year by reflecting on some of its favorite music segments. Hear about how Spanish-language lyrics feel like the norm today, but wasn’t always the case. Also, Austrian British musician Alicia Edelweiss takes the stage with a heavy dose of glittery eye makeup, an accordion and a hula-hoop. Plus, hear about how the cuatro, the national instrument of Venezuela, is gaining in popularity.
Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you. We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
