K-Squid

Puro Pulpo is the name of the Music Program playing on Thursdays from 10pm to midnight featuring an eclectic mix of world and indie music. “Puro Pulpo” means “Pure Octopus” in Spanish. Why Puro Pulpo? Calamar was already taken and I decided to honor a different kind of Cephalopod: “un pulpo.” The other names that, sadly, I rejected were: Calamar Para Sanar (“squid for healing”) and, my mother’s suggestion, “Calamar es la Cura.” “Calamar es la Cura” means “Squid is the Cure.” Spoken too quickly, however, sounds a lot like “Calamar es locura” which means “Squid is insanity/madness.” Not the vibe that I am trying to create for the show. I feel honored to be working at KSQD and delighted to be able to share music that I feel passionately about with you.
