What’s your cooking soundtrack?

I need music for everything. I listen to music while I work, while I blog, when I clean my house, even when I shop. So invariably, I need to listen to music when I cook.
My cooking soundtrack depends on my mood, and the dish I’m making. Afro-latin beat is great for when I’m making Arroz Con Pollo, Arepas, or Chicken Fajitas. When I’m making Jambalaya or Fried Chicken with a side of Southern Cabbage and Cornbread, I like to listen to Juvenile, UGK…any Southern rap track containing high amounts of bass. When I’m chopping veggies and making sauces, I like listening to something with jazzy hip-hop influences, like Foreign Exchange, Slum Village, or A Tribe Called Quest.
To my cooks out there, what do you listen to when you cook? What music inspires you in the kitchen?

I like you listen to a different playlist depending on what I am cooking however my go to is what I call my Around the World playlist which includes Esperanza Spalding, Lizz Wright, Beuna Vista Social Club, Sharon Jones and Bob Marley with some Adele thrown in for good measure.
