Description: The influence of Eastern Europe immigration in Latin America can be heard in the way the accordion was adapted and adopted in countries like Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Brazil and beyond.

This week we take a deep dive into those traditions with our guide, Eduardo Díaz, former director of Latino cultural information for the Smithsonian Institution.

Featured artists and songs:

• Narciso Martínez, "Nix"

• Carlos Vives, "Hijo de Vallenato"

• Luis Gonzaga, "Asa Branca"

• Grupo Alma Serrana, "Puerto Tirol"
