Pandora launches Spanish support for smart speakers for users in the US on Google Home & Nest and Amazon Alexa smart devices. Pandora recently launched El Detour in celebration of Latinx Heritage Month, a new station that highlights the genre-pushing Latin American artists who are redefining Latin music today.

Spanish-speaking users who enjoy Pandora on Google Home and Nest devices can now experience the new station (or any of their favourite Pandora music) by saying “Hey Google, toca El Detour en Pandora” with new Pandora Spanish language support for users of Google Assistant-enabled smart device in the US.

Alexa users in the US can now listen to great Pandora music like Latin hits station El Pulso by simply saying “Alexa, toca El Pulso en Pandora” or any number of other voice commands with Spanish language support on Amazon’s Echo smart speakers, and many other smart devices with Alexa built in.
