Slacker, Inc. has expanded its curated Spanish language offerings by launching four new Latin stations – Memorias, Puro Norte, Romantica and Salsa – and also by updating two stations within the Latin genre – Puro Mexico and Exitos Pop.

Edgar Pineda, a terrestrial radio veteran of over 18 years, is joining Slacker station programmers Alex Cortez and Jackie Madrigal to curate the Latin genre for Slacker Radio.

Launching today are three new stations programmed by Edgar Pineda: Memorias, Puro Norte and Romantica.

"I love the freedom of programming that Slacker offers me. I am able to select the songs that I believe listeners will enjoy, and refine the stations based on what my audience responds to," said Edgar Pineda, Latin station programmer at Slacker. "The deep music catalog, freedom to select tracks and ability to truly connect with my listeners makes Slacker a great outlet for those who appreciate music."
