From Mambo to Songo: A Special Cuban Dance Party
For our final program of 2016, we bring you a special Cuban dance party without interview, plus a tribute to Pérez Prado, who was born 100 years ago on December 11, 1916.
Three options for listening on shortwave:
WBCQ, 7490 KHz, Tuesdays 0100-0200 UTC (8pm-9pm EDT Mondays in the Americas)
Channel 292, 6070 KHz, Fridays 1100-1200 UTC (1200-1300 CET) and Saturdays 1600-1700 UTC (1700-1800 CET)*
*The Saturday broadcast may suffer significant interference from the Voice of Turkey in some areas but should be listenable in the UK and other areas outside of TRT’s target area. We will have a new time for Saturdays in 2017.
See our Facebook Page for more information.
Hi there,
I have followed this all through out 2016, just wanted to say thanks for the previous 12 months. I think it’s important for fans to show their appreciation in case you think of not following up on more episodes in 2017. I really enjoyed this final episode, the cuban dance party was class. I really like that genre.
Thanks again for 2016, I look forward to this in 2017.
Happy new year
Robert
Thank you Robert, it is always a delight to hear from listeners, and I am glad that you are enjoying the programs.
FTIOM will be continuing in 2017; there is some really great new music in the queue.
73,
