Corriente!

May 25, 2024

Saturday: 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Host / DJ: Liito - El Loco Del Barrio Pocho

Celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander month on ¡Corriente! with Latin music from China, Hawai’i, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

You’ll hear such musical treasures as Miyagawa Akira’s renown fusion of Pérez Prado’s “Mambo No.5" with the first movement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony and a rarely-heard gem: the late Juan Gabriel singing his biggest hit, “No Tengo Dinero” in Japanese.

Join Liito, El Loco del Barrio Pocho, for two hours of musical surprises from historic and contemporary recordings that range from cumbias, mambos, and tangos to jazz latino and over-the-edge postmodern marimba electrónica that document el triunfo mundial de la música latina.
