Santa Leticia is a selector, a curator, DJ and radio host known for her deep, eclectic sets that reflect her global musical journey.
Rooted in the sun-kissed lands of Andalusia, southern Spain, and now calling Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) home, she pieces together soulful, percussive journeys across Latin America, the Caribbean, Brazil and Africa. Her mixes are a celebration of vibrant sounds from these regions, with a rich backbone of jazz, rare groove, funk, soul, boogie and disco, tunes that move your feet and your soul.
On New Voices, Santa Leticia explores fresh, forward-thinking sounds, from up-and-coming labels to established names with new releases and first-time reissues. The show is a space for discovery, focused on the music and voices shaping the present. Alongside new tracks, she shares records that have resonated with her over time.
In her debut episode, she speaks with Alex Figueira, a Venezuelan-Portuguese musician, producer and DJ now based in Brussels. Known for his fusion of tropical rhythms, jazz, funk and psychedelia, Figueira shares insights into his latest album Colliding Layers, out now on Jazz Aggression Records.
Expect music that sparks new perspectives and conversations that go beyond the surface.
