I.<\/strong> \u00a0From the Isle of Music, May 8-June 3<\/strong>
\nCubadisco 2017, Cuba’s largest and most important music awards program (a combination of something like the GRAMMYs\u00ae and much, much more) takes place during May, and we’ll be away from the studio listening to Cuba’s best new recordings and doing new interviews. \u00a0 While we are doing that, \u00a0our episodes for May will be a combination of new episodes and some of the best of early 2016 for the benefit of our many new listeners.<\/p>\n

May 7-13 will be part 2 of our conversations with Cuban musicologist and producer Gloria Ochoa along with some killer Cuban Jazz.
\nMay 14-20 is a special dedicated to some of Cuba’s very best charanga orchestras. \u00a0 Bring your dancing shoes.
\nMay 21-27 is a replay of an early 2016 episode with special guest Cuban Jazz singer Zule Guerra, but also some 1970s Cuban Rock.
\nMay 28-June 3 is a replay of an early 2016 episode featuring members of Conjunto Chappottin, one of Cuba’s most historically important conjuntos, as well as a mix of other Cuban music genres.<\/p>\n

Four possibilities to listen via shortwave:

\n2. For the Americas and parts of Europe, Tuesdays 0000-0100 UTC on WBCQ, 7490 KHz from Monticello, ME, USA (Mondays 8-9PM EDT in the US)

II. Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot, Thursdays
\n<\/strong>Our musical mystery box\u00a0<\/strong>with the rest of the planet including the US and just enough weird (including a few laughs now and then) to keep us from being confused with any\u00a0generic World Music program. No gravitas for us! \u00a0We don’t tell you what’s coming up each week because the surprises are half the fun and we always mix things up anyway. \u00a0Every Thursday from 2300-2330 UTC on WBCQ the Planet, 7490 KHz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
