Welcome back to The Music Corner "Riffs to 808s!" Today is a much more unorthodox as Nate and his girlfriend, Shawna, discuss the cultural significance of The Black Eyed Peas's most recent album, Translation. While the album may seem generic in terms of the music, there is much more to the album as a whole. Find out about the group's background, the use of Spanglish on almost every song, and the globalization of culture they represent!
Links to Shawna's sources will be below, as well as her email if any of you wish to contact her to discuss more about the content in this episode!
