<\/a>From the Isle of Music<\/strong><\/em>, October 29-November 4:
\nThis week, our guest is the extraordinary percussionist, bandleader, composer and educator Ruy L\u00f3pez-Nussa, whose DVD Repercusiones was nominated in the Espect\u00e1culo Musical Audiovisual (Live Musical Performance) category of Cubadisco 2017. If you are a fan of Jazz, percussion or both, you will love this episode.
\nFour opportunities to listen on shortwave:
\n1. For Eastern Europe but audible well beyond the target area in most of the Eastern Hemisphere (including parts of East Asia and Oceania) 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)

\n<\/span>
\nPolka Party!
\nEpisode 34 of Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot<\/em><\/strong> will be a New Ulm, Minnesota-style Polka Party. New Ulm was the epicenter of a distinct Polka sound that swings. If you think you don’t like Polkas, this might make you a convert.
