Episode 67 - West Indies Fund Drive
12:00pm, 10-25-2020
<< Tropicology
The theme today is West Indies Fund Drive; I have gathered a bit of a greatest hits collection for music in my collection from the French West Indies: Haiti, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. These countries are right in our backyard, but most of us never give them a thought, and there are not many gringos who can tell the origins of this music when they hear it. We will kick off, as I often do, with sounds that are charming: sometimes sentimental, sometimes snappy. These are mostly sounds from the 60s and 70s. Thank you for supporting XRAY FM!
