Welcome to
Radio Colectivo del Nuevo Siglo
Radio Collective of the New Century
El Radio Colectivo del Nuevo Siglo is an online archive of latino programming produced at KPFA FM, with roots in the original Comunicación Aztlán radio collective of the 1970s based in the San Francisco Mission District. As a prototype, Comunicación Aztlán prompted the formation of other independent media collectives, as well for the establishment of KPFA's Third World Department.
Today, Comunicación Aztlán producers Emiliano Echeverria, Nina Serrano and Daniel del Solar continue to contribute to programming and mentoring a new generation of broadcasters at KPFA for La Raza Chronicles, Rock en Rebelion, Womens Magazine, Open Book, La Onda Bahita, Cuba Canta and Radio 2050.
The launch of Radio Colectivo del Nuevo Siglo online archive allows for past and recent programs to be available after broadcast through this site at listeners' convenience over the internet, on iPod, and Mp3 capable cel phones and other mobile devices. More programs will be eventually transferred from its original media and added to this site.
