The Case of the Fund Drive Pirates' Radio of the Caribbean

12:00pm, 10-22-2017

Today is my show for the 2017 XRAY FM fall fund drive... hope all of you can pledge some support for this unique community radio experience.

Today we revisit a popular show genre for catchy tropical rhythms: Pirates' Radio of the Caribbean (the eighth total case, in case you are counting). This plate is evenly balanced between Cuba and Brazil, with a side of Haiti, and it's all covered in old-timey charm sauce. Great rhythmic music today for everything from toe tapping to dancefloor limbo.

I am devoting attention today to one of my favorite things to do on the show: uncover dusty and forgotten tracks from the 50s and 60s (along with more modern tracks in a vintage vein). I love it when these old-timey tracks still have enough potent hip-swiveling juice to move a modern dance floor. My own love for vintage tropical sounds may well date back to a childhood fascination with my parents' old copies of Harry Belafonte calypso albums.

I will be talking just a little today about the power of community radio. Viva XRAY!!
