Vana Con Muñoz 9.3.16

In Vaya Con Muñoz

Longtime journalist Diane Alverio, founder and publisher of CTLatinoNews, talks with us about Donald Trump and Republicans with no good option in November.
Larry Hott reviews “The Music of Strangers,” a documentary about cellist Yo Yo Ma and his ensemble and invited musicians as they travel the world. This isn’t a concert movie, though; this is about how music defines us and our times and transforms cultures. Larry says it’s an astonishing film in both content and even frame by frame. I believe him.
We are sung out by Colombian singer-songwriter Carles Vives singing a happy song, “Quiere Verte Sonreir,” I want to See You Smile.”
