From the Isle of Music, Week of April 9-15, 2017<\/strong>
\nThis week, special guest Pablo Men\u00e9ndez, former member of GESI and current leader of Mezcla, returns to discuss Mezcla (in English), one of Cuba’s most important Fusion ensembles. We also listen to music by other former GESI members such as Silvio Rodr\u00edguez, Pablo Milan\u00e9s and Emiliano Salvador.
\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 on Channel 292, 6070 KHz from Rohrbach, Germany.<\/p>\n

Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot, April 13, 2017
\n<\/strong>Episode 7 of Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot<\/em>, a \u00a0semi-clandestine musical variety program that features genres from A-Z, will air on WBCQ the Planet, 7490 KHz, Thursday, April 13 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>
\n(It isn’t showing on the WBCQ website yet, but it’ll be on.)
\nUncle Bill seldom admits what he’s up to, \u00a0but with both Easter and Passover coming,\u00a0it’s a safe bet that there will be a least a little something related to those. \u00a0 Whether it \u00a0will be normal or weird is what is hard to predict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
