In this special show of Meant to Ferment, host Rebecca Echevarria put together a show focused on Puerto Rican food / holiday / seasonal music. This show features both submissions from folks on the island and in the diaspora that remind them of this time of year and also a personal collection of music found along the way. Coquito, lechon, dancing, family, parranda, are some of the memories evoked in this show. In this month, for WGXC’s Pledge Drive to expand the Catskill studio, this show hopes to bring some joy to listeners and express the importance of investment in local community radio online, on air and on main street! Donate by phone, by mail or online. Like microbes, we can make worlds together.
