World Cafe Playlist for 08/20/2025
Buscabulla joins host Raina Douris
Raquel Berrios of Buscabulla found herself revisiting her father’s record collection when he passed away. The romantic Latin ballads of the past inspired her and her husband and bandmate Luis Alfredo Del Valle to create their own take on those songs on their latest album, Se Amaba Así. On the next World Cafe, Buscabulla joins us to talk about Puerto Rican love songs, why they decided to raise their family on the island, and how a DM from Bad Bunny changed their entire career.
