Pass the Aux: October


Pass the Aux is a monthly series that highlights music created by women and gender expansive artists.


October is here and we're celebrating the last week of Latinx Heritage Month! Check out these 6 songs by latinx artists from all around the world.


1. Pi de Limón - ximena

ximena's sonic universe is vibrant, abrasive, and totally unique. The Peruvian producer was the first person to study Electronic Digital Instrument (EDI) at Berklee College of Music. We're so lucky to have ximena as one of our teaching artists at BBG Boston!


PERFECT FOR: raving in nature


FOR FANS OF: Daedelus, Caribou, Arca

2. La Conga - PAUZA, Alexander Abreu


Lush layers of percussion and a soaring trumpet solo. What's not to love? PAUZA, the first female electronic duo from Cuba, make it pretty impossible not to dance to this track.


PERFECT FOR: involuntary dancing


FOR FANS OF: Disclosure, Jayda G, Nicola Cruz

3. Estación Esperanza - Sofia Kourtesis


This song, like most of Sofia Kourtesis' discography, will make you want to dance, cry, and change the world all at the same time.


PERFECT FOR: dancing, crying, and/or changing the world


FOR FANS OF: Kelly Lee Owens, HAAi, Ela Minus

4. Quédate - MJ Nebreda


MJ Nebreda brings the party on "Quédate." Growing up in Caracas, London, and Santo Domingo, Nebreda brings a totally unique set of influences to her music.


PERFECT FOR: feeling wistful at the club


FOR FANS OF: Yaeji, Bad Bunny, Shygirl

5. Gurú - Paty B
