Over at KEXP in Seattle, Washington, programs like El Sonido and Immigrant Songs are highlighting and empowering Latin American artists to tell their stories in their own words, regardless of language, country of origin, or musical genre. DJ Chilly has been one of the driving forces behind KEXP’s Spanish-language music programming, joining the legendary radio station as a volunteer in the year 2000 and eventually building to his own show, El Sonido, in 2012.
