The First Case of the Pirates' Radio of the Caribbean
It's a new theme this week for the Adventures...
I present "Pirates' Radio of the Caribbean," a salty stew of popular music from Brazil and Latin America. Special emphasis here for fun and rootsy fare... shanties employed by canny natives to coax gold pieces from the purses of bountied buccaneers in rum-soaked tropical ports.
This is where gravel-voiced sambeiros ply their trade side by side with casino crooners and village callers. This is where the accordions of cumbia shoulder up with the accordions of forro. This is kitchen radio fuel for the romantic daydreams of bored housewives from Sao Paulo to Santo Domingo.
Spread out your towel and tell the cabana boy to bring you a pisco sour... make it two. One more day in this sun and you'll be able to pass for a native.
