San Antonio U.S. Rep. Castro seeks recommendations of Latinx songs for Library of Congress
U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, is again seeking suggestions of songs and albums by Latinx artists that are worthy of being inducted into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry. Since 2000, the Library of Congress has been on a mission to preserve recordings with cultural, historical or aesthetic significance to U.S. life. But even though Latinx people account for a quarter of the nation's population, fewer than 5% of recordings currently in the library's National Recording Registry are by Latinx artists.
