Sense of Place: Fort Collins is a melting pot of music

Fort Collins, Colo., looks like a storybook American town, but it sounds like a diverse, exciting melting pot of cultures.

In this installment of our Sense of Place: Colorado series, you'll hear a mini-concert from Latin pop and hip hop group 2MX2, recorded live in Fort Collins at a venue called Washington's.

But first, you'll hear from the folks who run the venue: the Bohemian Foundation. It's an organization dedicated to nurturing arts and music in Fort Collins. Along with Washington's, the foundation also operates a few other music-focused spots in town, with the goal of creating a vibrant music scene where artists can actually make a living.
