Wow. Honored to be part (liner notes) of the Vacilón Santiaguero release by Kiki Valera, which is now a nominee for Best Tropical Latin Album in this year's GRAMMY Awards. Congratulations to Kiki, Naomi and everyone else involved. The competition for the final award is truly formidable, but that makes the nomination all the sweeter.

Dear radio friends,
We are coming back after a brief hiatus August 20 as a monthly on the third Sunday of each month on WBCQ The Planet 7490 kHz on the shortwave bands from 6pm-7pm ET (currently 2200-2300 UTC). This is a time share with our other program, From The Isle of Music (on the first Sunday of each month) and Julio Cesar Pereira's Ginga Brasil! (on the second and fourth Sunday). When there is a fifth Sunday it will be Doug's Comedy Favorites.
We will have two special guests on the 20th. Storms will be with us from India in the first half hour to present his new South Indian devotional music-jazz-fusion album by The Indica Project, Aum. Irina Sarbu will be with us from Romania in the second half hour to present her new jazz album At the End of July.
If you can't catch us with your shortwave radio (some parts of Europe may have interference from other stations), we are not available on demand, but you CAN catch a livestream DURING THE BROADCAST ONLY at wbcq.com or use a web sdr (we do honor reception reports using web sdrs if you listen to the whole show and let us know which one, we also respond to correspondence if you listened on line).

We're back! As a monthly, but still....
First Sunday of each month beginning August 6 from 2200-2300 UTC (6-7pm EDT) on 7490 kHz, which also livestreams (NOT ON DEMAND) on wbcq.com. This month: some selections from recordings recognized in Cubadisco 2023. There are shorter introductions and closing segments now to allow more time for music.
Be sure to tune in every week though - weeks two and four have Julio Cesar Pereira's Ginga Brasil! and week three has Uncle Bill's Melting Pot.

¡Estamos de vuelta! Como un mensual, pero aún así....
El primer domingo de cada mes a partir del 6 de agosto de 2200 a 2300 UTC (6 a 7 p. m. EDT) en 7490 kHz, que también se lleva en vivo (y NO bajo demanda) en wbcq.com. Este mes: algunas selecciones de grabaciones reconocidas en Cubadisco 2023. Ahora hay introducciones y segmentos de cierre más cortas para dar más tiempo para la música.
Sin embargo, asegúrese de sintonizar todas las semanas: las semanas dos y cuatro tienen Ginga Brasil! de Julio Cesar Pereira y la semana tres tiene Uncle Bill's Melting Pot.
