Many thanks to\u00a0Bill Tilford, Owner\/Producer at\u00a0Tilford Productions<\/a>, who writes:<\/p>\n

Beginning Monday, February 1, I will be hosting a weekly, hour-long music program, From the Isle of Music<\/strong>, dedicated to the music of Cuba, on WBCQ, 7.490 MHz, every Monday night from 8-9pm EST (currently 0100-0200 UTC).<\/em><\/p>\n

I began listening to shortwave in childhood and now want to give something back to the medium. <\/em><\/p>\n

This will be a cultural panorama of multiple genres from Classical to traditional music to Timba to Jazz to Funk, including a lot of things that people outside of Cuba might not know are played there. There will also be interviews. It will be partly in English, partly in Spanish. I hope to do this in the spirit of some of the best cultural programming of the golden years of shortwave.<\/em><\/p>\n

There is a Facebook page, also titled From the Isle of Music<\/a>, with more information.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many thanks, Bill! \u00a0I will certainly tune in and look forward to your music selections and commentary. Please keep us informed if you have any updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
