Episode 18: Hurricane Season
12:00pm, 10-27-2019
<< Tropicology
It has been a while since we last heard big band latin sounds on the show… today we return to that cosmopolitan ballroom music, following a musical path from Havana to New York, from the 1930s up to the modern day. For the fall season I am looking for moody songs to match the changing weather… pensive danzon, mournful boleros, and tempest-tossed exotica.
As noted last week, autumn is not a thing in the Tropics, where sunlight comes in equal measures all year long. In Havana, this time of year is not associated with falling leaves or cold weather… this time of year is associated with hurricane season. Today’s dramatic musical fare squares with the hurricane theme as well… so I present today big band uptown latin on the theme of Hurricane Season.
