From the Isle of Music, Week of April 2-8, 2017
\nOur A17 Season begins April 2 with a new schedule, and our first episode will be a re-broadcast of our special about Grupo de Experimentaci\u00f3n Sonora del ICAIC, a supergroup from the 1970s whose many important members influenced the future course of Jazz, Nueva Trova, Fusion, Concert and cinematic music in Cuba. With special guest Pablo Men\u00e9ndez, a member of GESI (In English) and some seldom-heard selections by the group.
\nFour opportunities to listen via shortwave:
\n1. For Eastern Europe but audible well beyond the target area in all directions with 100Kw, Sunday 1500-1600 UTC on SpaceLine, 9400 KHz, from Kostinbrod, Bulgaria (1800-1900 MSK)
\n2. For the Americas and parts of Europe, Tuesday 0000-0100 UTC on WBCQ, 7490 KHz from Monticello, ME, USA (Monday 8-9PM EDT in the US)
\n3 & 4. For Europe and sometimes beyond, Tuesday 1900-2000 UTC and Saturday 1200-1300 UTC on Channel 292, 6070 KHz from Rohrbach, Germany.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Although not listed on the WBCQ website, Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot<\/em>, a top secret music and variety program with just a bit of weird in it now and then, \u00a0airs Thursday nights on WBCQ 7490 Khz at 2300-2330 UTC. \u00a0 Uncle Bill says next week’s contents are secret but fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
