I am a Sophomore at The University of Minnesota, Duluth and have been studying for an exam tomorrow all day. I tuned into the show and so far am loving it! "Feeling Fine" literally picked me up out of some serious "homework blues". Love the current, keep up the good work! I appreciate it.

Hi,I'm Vanesa from Argentina but living in Minnesota for over 10 years,this show it was literally MUSIC TO MY EARS!!!It's always great to hear Music from my country and it's not usual on a local radio station,you made my Sunday!Great mix of music!Thank you Latino Alternative!

This radio session was awesome! The collaboration of bands and thoughtfulness shows through opinions of passion. Ah that first one was great Brazilian song, the beat was so up lifting and fun! The best part is those handsome sounding ancients. The Latino Alternative really opens my mind to new music. Coming from the Duluth area we hear all sorts of music. Quite a bit of rap. That second song had such a good upbeat jaz sound with a hardstyle rap and still postive. I'd love to hear a Latino Alternative vol.4.

I was lucky enough to catch most of this show last night. This show is exactly what we need. It is 2011 and we have the technology to put us in touch with the whole world, so we should utilize this. Music is always a great place to start. I always thought there was some cool music happening all over the world, but thanks to a show like this, we can easily experience it. I am saddened to learn this is not a weekly show. I guess I am not clear on why you would not promote more shows like this. If music is a universal language, why would you not promote music from around the world?
