Traducción: Ana Elizabeth Olguín Vargas

The playlist from Friday, September 14th is, as always, a mosaic of different beats and rhythms from around the world. We listen to Chilanga Banda first, by the musician, Jaime Lopez from Tamaulipas, but performed by Cuidad Satelite in Naucalpan, Mexico, Cafe Tacuba. After, we presented the song Que te vaya bien, by the fusion music group from Tijuana: Saoko. Next, we gave a hearing to Sarawasti by the band Autorickshaw, a band that combines modern Indian music with traditional music.


From Tijuana to Venezuela in less than two seconds with the song: Detrás de tu sombra by Cheo Hurtado, a Venezuelan musician player of stringed instruments such as the bandola, tiple, tres, and mandolin. After Cheo, we enjoyed the African influence in Puerto Rican music with the song Sueño de by the band Paracumbé.


Then we were pleased with Latin and African music such as the song; Rumba a la vida del cubano by Roberto Faz, interpreter of various tropical music genres and as guarachas boleros and danzonetes. Also from Cuba, we danced with Cucuruchu de maní by Eliades Ochoa, a Cuban singer and guitar player born in Loma de la Avispa, on the east, near to Santiago de Cuba, on June 22th, 1946.


To give this morning a different rhythm, we presented El son sin fin by the sones jarochos music group; Los cojolites. Then we listened José Curbelo, a Cuban pianist and orchestra conductor. Then we visited Brazil while we listen to Caetano Veloso, a famous Brazilian musician. Veloso has been called one of the best songwriters of the 21st century.


Mariza from Portugal was next. Mariza is a fado singer, a music genre that expresses the moments of life through the singing and performance of the Portuguese guitar and viola.
