KXCI 91.3FM Tucson AZ

A new beginning in unity. Celebrate this evening with the Latin Connection, keep the party going!

All are welcome to listen. Serious events are happening in our dear country right now, but the holidays are NOT over! We are still eating...tonight celebrating El Día de Los Reyes Magos on TLC with a variety of music, hot chocolate and rosca!

We are saying goodbye to this strange, heartbreaking, challenging, politically passionate year. We are ending 2020 with sadness for all the dear ones we lost and dear to the music world too, most recently the passing of Armando Manzanero arguably the most romantic musician, composer, producer of Latin America. We are ending this year as usual, with all good intentions, with a list of resolutions and with this journey in mind, we are ending this year with so much hope and gratitude. I wish that you have health, love, comfort and why not? Lotsa money in 2021. May the planet be a better home for us all.

A few days ago on social media, Nenny G asked you to comment or DM what you considered to be the best or favorites in Latin music for the year. Thank you for your replies because YOU are in charge of this edition of TLC 12.16.20, curated on a collective effort by YOU.

This is the final week of KXCI’s year-end financial campaign. Go to www.kxci.org click on the and give!

Your gift will ensure KXCI Community Radio's ability to bring relevant content for our community and the most eclectic music mix including Latin music by way of shows like Sabor del Barrio and The Latin Connection. KXCI shows are locally produced programs unique to Tucson and Southern Arizona. When you support KXCI you are supporting voices like yours. Tonight, The Latin Connection will bring you a little tribute to Flor Silvestre, we'll play new music and highlight some of the best albums of 2020. THANK YOU for tuning in, connecting, listening and supporting KXCI.

There are so many reasons to be thankful for, among them are the things we should never take for granted like our health, our families, our friends, our livelihoods, the things that bring us joy, things that make us feel alive, like music. Thank you for tuning in or connecting to our live stream. Thank you for supporting KXCI. Without your time and financial contributions, this station and this show would not be possible. May you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

I know you may not always agree with the mysterious entity referred to as "The Academy" but I think you will like this upcoming edition of KXCI's TLC because I selected a few songs from the Latin Grammy Awards 2020 nominee list. I am sure that some of the songs from my pool out of the nominee universe will not be featured during the live ceremony tomorrow November 19 or necessarily win the awards this year, but I think they are very much worthy of your attention. -Much love Nenny G

We're still waiting to find out ... voto por voto

Davida the Cactus Cat subbing for the show tonight!

For this episode I want to bring you JOY ...joy of being alive, of knowing that your existence is enough ...the joy of getting up to dance, the joy of letting the song end in your car before turning it off and getting out of it...the joy of singing loud along to your favorite tune..the joy of the moment. It’s impossible to only pick a few songs that can help convey the feeling of joy...so I ended up with a Latin Joy Sampler...we will hear Latin hip hop, rap, urban, Nuevo flamenco, cumbia, alternative cumbia, local, Banda, pop-teño, merengue, merengue EDM, merengue hip hop, salsa, orquesta plus dedications to Jenny and Tyina and a little tribute to @eddievanhalen
