Episode: From The Vault: Helado Negro On Code Switching, Jamaica Kincaid And “Our Cloudy Country"
Description: South Florida native Helado Negro draws from multiple cultural threads to create genre-defying avant-electronic sounds. He is also a visual artist and recent recipient of the USArtists award. In March of 2019, Reclaimed Soul’s Ayana Contreras sat down with Helado Negro to discuss his last album, "This Is How You Smile," as well as some of the surprising themes behind it. We are revisiting this conversation in anticipation of his new album "Far In," which is set for release on Oct. 22, 2021.
