Respected LadyLand - Midcentury Caribbean Queens
3:00pm, 7-4-2026
<< Respected LadyLand / Travlin' the Tracks with DJ Action Slacks
On this episode we’ll sample the sounds of some of women of the Caribbean whose music managed to make it on wax during an era hugely dominated by men in that region- the 1950s and early 1960s. You’ll hear voices from Haiti, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, The Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, and of course, Cuba.
