Tonite: 28 Feb 2009 - Cuba Canta con Emiliano Echeverria - KPFA FM

Tonite Cuba Canta slightly departs from its usual format. We depart from Cuba proper to pay tribute to Gilberto Calderon, known to the world as Joe Cuba, after all, although a proud Newyorican, he did go by the name of "Cuba". His was one of the more cutting edge groups in the New York Latin music scene for over 20 years. He recently passed away at age 78, ever proud of his beloved Bronx. We will hear early recordings by Cheo Feliciano, Willie Torres and Jimmy Sabater, as well as the evolving sound of the Joe Cuba Sextet.

Another recent passing of note was bassist Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez, most recently famous as the foundation of all of the recordings produced under the auspices of the "Buena Vista Social Club". He was much more than that as we pay tribute to Cachaito by playing music he recorded with Orquesta Riverside, Los Zafiros, and other surprises including a selection from his only CD. From Mambo to Jazz, we will hear the astonishing diversity that he so enjoyed being a part of.......

Presenting: el Radio Colectivo del Nuevo Siglo

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.
