Nathy Peluso: Rapper, Salsera, and The Art of Misbehaving
Nathy Peluso is an Argentinean-born singer, rapper and poet and she’s looking to chart new territory on who gets to choose how women behave. She grew up in Spain where she learned to express herself through poetry. The rhythm of the language quickly gave way to rap and her debut album, ‘Calambre.’ Most recently she worked with Tokischa and with the one-and-only Gloria Estefan. Her new EP “Malportada” is packed with old school salsa vibes. Latino USA’s Maria Hinojosa speaks with Nathy about her new album and taking risks con amor y respeto.

After Election Wins for Democrats, Are They Connecting More With Latinos?
It’s been a year since Donald Trump won the elections. And last week, voters elected candidates that are far from what Trump represents. Democrats made history in New York City, and they won big in places like Virginia, California, and New Jersey—and Latinos and Latinas, as usual, played a big role. But these victories don’t necessarily mean Democrats are poised to sweep in future elections, including the 2026 midterms. A panel of journalists discuss how the elusive so-called Latino vote influenced the most recent elections, and what lessons the Democratic Party should learn.

Monsters and Secrets: Oscar Isaac on Embodying the Most Telenovela Version of Frankenstein
There is a mysticism that covers Latin America. Stories of monsters, spirits, and tales of dark family secrets. Sure, it sounds like a telenovela, but literature calls it Gothic: tales that frighten and force us to confront our fears. Now, Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has reimagined the classic gothic story “Frankenstein.” But this time with a Latin American twist. Del Toro’s adaptation features catholic imagery, long stares into the camera, and Guatemalan-born Hollywood superstar Oscar Isaac. Oscar gets into the film, the state of the country, and why he dropped Hernandez from his stage name.

Unlawfully Deported: Orgullosa's Story of Family Separation, ICE’s Harassment and Returning Home
Orgullosa and her daughter, Estrella, began to rebuild their lives after they were separated in the U.S.-Mexico border under the first Trump administration in 2018. Seven years later, Trump was re-elected, and their story took a downward spiral. They were “unlawfully deported” back to Honduras, despite having legal protection to be in the U.S. In this episode, we hear from Orgullosa about the months leading up to her deportation, the harassment she experienced from ICE, and how she’s part of a broader court filing trying to bring families like hers back to the U.S. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.
