The rises on jeans were low, mp3 players were new, and the president was lying about the existence of weapons of mass destruction to invade a whole country to avenge his daddy and make his VP some cash. The year is 2003, and twenty years ago (!!!) the musical landscape looked….vastly different. We were coming off the end of the Latin boom era of the late 90s. Meanwhile, reggaeton was on the precipice of blowing up globally, and the Latin music industry was hell bent on ignoring it. This week, we explore 2003 in music to think about what has changed, and what has stayed the same.

Featuring music by Julieta Venegas, Tego Calderón, Thalia, Fat Joe, Don Omar, Ricky Martin, Molotov, and Ivy Queen.
