‘These are a few things that you won’t hear on ‘Travel Tips for Aztlan,’ the Saturday-night show of cutting-edge Latin American and Latino music hosted by Mark Torres and Mariluz Gonzalez on KPFK-FM (90.7): Goofy shtick. Canned repartee. Generic Spanish-language pop of the sort that clogs the commercial airwaves and, after the umpteenth rotation, can make enlightened rock en español fans reach for the mescal bottle,’ writes Reed Johnson in Calender, reporting from Los Angeles.
‘ ‘Unfortunately, Latin radio is 10 years behind. Stop playing Juanes already,’ said Torres, who started ‘Travel Tips’ 14 years ago and has made it the L.A. region’s longest-running Latin alternative-rock program.’
