In Episode 6 of Made In Latin America, we tune into the present: Contemporary Soundscapes.

This episode explores how Indigenous Latin American artists are using sound today—not just to preserve cultural heritage, but to reimagine it. We hear from musicians, sound artists, and curators who are pushing sonic boundaries while remaining rooted in place, ancestry, and resistance.

Part of the seven-part collaboration with SDCelar at the British Museum, the episode challenges assumptions about tradition and modernity, revealing how sound becomes a medium for political expression, identity, and survival.

Whether through field recordings, urban interventions, or experimental music, these soundscapes speak to shifting realities and living memory. The episode also reflects on how museums can listen better—amplifying rather than flattening cultural voices.
