Nuestra Música: Diversity Thy Name is Music (Audio)
We have prepared a Diverse show that includes Ruben Gonzalez, Maria Teresa Vera, Omara Portuondo, Altiplano, Jayac, Pedro Luis Ferrer, Grupo Vocal Gregor, Uchpa, Madera Fina and Son de Madera. Music from the Spanish Renaissance, to Rock Nacional, Cumbia and music sung in Quechua language.
On Monday February 24 we lost an iconic voice of R&B, Roberta Flack. Even though she stopped singing a few years ago, her recordings and wonderful songs will live forever. We are presenting our small homage to Roberta Flack with a traditional tune she sung in Spanish: “Angelitos Negros”, Little Black Angels.
Thank you for tunning to your community supported Radio Station.
