Episode 34: Nightclub Time Machine
Music lovers, as we all know, music happens in all kinds of places, for all kinds of reasons. But one of the most common venues for music is the nightclub. All around the world, and across all ages, people have sought musical entertainment alongside their libations, and an opportunity to dance. Today we are going to hear a sampling of nightclub music across various places and times, focusing on Latin America. These are the sounds that made young people dance in your parents’ and grandparents’ generations, music that still has the power to move us today. The title of today’s show is Nightclub Time Machine… we are going to visit some historical Havana watering holes in the first hour today featuring spicy rumba, hip descarga, and steamy bolero. In the second hour we will spin the dial a bit more, hopping from Guadeloupe to Cartagena, from a mod 60s sound up to very current dancehall sensations.
