Hello listeners! I'm back after a week off for my birthday...

...but I'm still in a party state of mind! So we're doing a bit of a dance music theme today. We're not talking a late night house party throwdown or anything; but this will be among the more dance-oriented shows I've done from top to bottom.

Starting off today's set with a tasty little batch of organ swing from Brazil, including the groove master Walter Wanderley. We will next take a brief detour into Forro from Brazil, the accordion-driven dance music favored in Northeastern Brazil (Bahia).

As we approach the second hour, we are going to bring in some Latin America. Look for 70s era latin funk from Cuba, Colombia, Nueva Yorica, and even a taste of Trinidad today. 

We will close the set out with some modern Brazil funk, including show favorite Seu Jorge.
