This year’s Latin Alternative Music Conference was a genre-bending confluence of reggaeton, folk, prog rock, and beyond

“Once a year Latin alternative musicians ”” that is, those who dont play salsa, tango, bolero, or other regional beats ”” come together en masse in New York City. The Latin Alternative Music Conference is a series of industry panel discussions, networking opportunities, open bars, promotional stops, and, of course, plenty of music. This years edition took place July 10 through 14, with events at venues like Harlems El Museo del Barrio, Central Parks SummerStage, and Brooklyns Prospect Park. They showcased not only established acts but also up-and-coming artists you might not have heard of yet, but will soon. Here are some highlights from the conference.”
