Raíces Collective

Tonight after Espejos de Aztlan we'll have the treat to spend a Raices Latin Free Form with a local talent:
CAMILO QUIÑONES, aka CQ THE DRUMMER.
CAMILO is a musician, producer and DJ. He is a member of the local band EL DUSTY & THE HOMIES, and collaborated as a drummer on the grammy winning album NATIVE SONS with LOS LOBOS, just to mention some of his career...
We will dedicate him the whole show as he's got a fresh new release to share and we will cover, in between the sets, as much as we can of his 28 years involvement on the national music scene, either composing, playing and producing.
He will also be spinning some of his favorite music.
7:30 to 10pm on 89.9 KUNM, www.kunm.org for live streaming or, if you couldn't make it, to look it into the two weeks archives

Kudos to Raíces Co-Coordinator David Nicasio and show presenter Pancho Quiñones as they brought on the Spanish Harlem Orchestra Friday night. David spoke to the importance of supporting Raíces and KUNM Radio 89.9 FM Albuquerque-Santa Fe in light of the attack on public media being conducted by the current government in Washington and Pancho joined in. The two of them hit it out of the park!
