Our Latin Thing Takeover - La Jeva 31/03/26 - Voices Radioo

The takeover continues with La Jeva, a Puerto Rican DJ and ethnomusicologist whose work operates at the intersection of preservation, education and sound. Rooted in a deep commitment to Afro-Caribbean musical heritage, her practice extends beyond the booth, collaborating with non-profit ensembles to actively sustain and transmit the cultural knowledge embedded within these traditions.

This set unfolds as more than a selection it reads as a sonic archive in motion, tracing the rhythmic, spiritual and social lineages of Puerto Rico while connecting them to the wider currents that have shaped Latin America’s most defining genres. Each track carries context, each transition holds intention, offering a listening experience that is as informative as it is immersive.
