From the Isle of Music<\/em>, Week of March 20 -25, 2017
\nThis week, our special guest Oriente L\u00f3pez, the Musical Director of Afrocuba during much of the 1980s and now with his own excellent projects, will discuss both Afrocuba, one of Cuba’s most interesting Fusion\/Cuban Jazz ensembles, especially during the 1980s, and his own current projects, which are also fascinating. We will, of course, listen to some wonderful music from these ensembles.
\nThree opportunities to listen via shortwave:
\n1. For the Americas and parts of Western Europe:
\nWBCQ, 7490 KHz, Tuesdays 0000-0100 UTC (Mondays 8pm-9pm EDT in the Americas)
\n2. For Europe and beyond,
\nChannel 292, 6070 KHz, Fridays 1100-1200 UTC (1200-1300 CET) and Saturdays 1200-1300 UTC (1300-1400 CET)

Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot<\/em>, \u00a0March 23, 2017
\nEpisode 4 of Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot<\/em>, a musical variety program that features genres from A-Z, will air on WBCQ the Planet, 7490 KHz, Thursday, March 16 from 2300-2330 UTC (7:00pm-7:30pm EDT in the Americas). Brought to you by Tilford Productions, which also brings you From the Isle of Music<\/em>.
\nUncle Bill doesn’t like us to say too much, because part of \u00a0the idea is to surprise you with things, but Episode 4 is especially recommended for fans of music from the Balkans and for members of the Michigan Area Radio Enthusiasts (MARE)
\nWe aren’t showing on the WBCQ website yet (apparently it likes surprises even more than Uncle Bill), \u00a0but we’ll be on the air. \u00a0Check us out, and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
