From the Isle of Music, week of December 19-24


From the Isle of Music, week of December 19-24
This week, our special guest will be Degnis Bofill, an emerging young percussion star in Cuba who received two awards in this year's JoJazz competition. We'll have a brief interview and some music that features him on percussion. Also, in honor of their GRAMMY® nominations, we will feature music from Los Van Van's La Fantasia and Chucho Valdes' Tribute to Irakere. And, as always, other good things.
Three options for listening on shortwave:
WBCQ, 7490 KHz, Tuesdays 0100-0200 UTC (8pm-9pm EDT Mondays in the Americas)
Channel 292, 6070 KHz, Fridays 1100-1200 UTC (1200-1300 CET) and Saturdays 1600-1700 UTC (1700-1800 CET)*
*The Saturday broadcast may receive interference from the Voice of Turkey in some areas but is definitely listenable in the UK and probably in NE Europe.
