Hi everyone,

Now you are tuning in to THE CUBAN BRIDGE at WWPV 92.5 FM "The Mike", - the Saint Michael's College Campus Radio in Colchester, Vermont, USA.

Our lei motiv this afternoon is to present a COMBINATION OF JAZZ AND DANCING MUSIC and we have just begun with TANGA a composition penned by Don Mario Bauza with Machito and The Afro-Cubans, a seminal band that gave rise to the beginning of AFROCUBAN JAZZ in New York City in the 1940s.

In this radio show, we are also going to speak about the JAZZ PLAZA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL that took place in Havana and Santiago de Cuba this month of January, and had many special guests from the US, Puerto Rico, Soain and other nations, among them saxophonists BILL EVANS, MIGUEL ZENON and DAVE LIEBMAN !

Among the albums that will make you dance the floor away are MAMBO LEGENDS ORCHESTRA with former member of Tito Puente Orchestra, Kiki Valera's new album VIVENCIAS EN CLAVE CUBANA recorded in Seattle Washington and Cuba, Albita Rodriguez's "NO SE PARECE A NADA", Dr. Ed Calle's "MAMBLUE", and others featuring THE FEMALE SALSA POWER with Voices from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Curazao, Boston, the Dominican Republic, New York and Cuba. .

We will also celebrate the CENTENNIALS of pianist ADOLFO GUZMAN and trombonist LEOPOLDO "PUCHO" ESCALANTE.

Don't forget that the BEST is always yet to come !
