In Memory of Lisa Lopez-Galvan 1980 - 2024 Community Radio DJ Taste of Tejano program on KKFI -FM, 90.1 Kansas City |
| The producers* of WZBC's International Bot of Mystery world music program are saddened by the passing of Lisa Lopez-Galvan in the shooting in Kansas City on Feb. 14. You may be inclined to click on the URLs below to read the memorial posted on the main webpage of KKFI-FM, view the playlists of her program Taste of Tejano, and listen to her last two programs, which are archived on KKFI's website. |

| We dedicate the last song on tonight's show to Lisa. It's by Tejano musician Flaco Jimenez, airing at 5:56 AM. |
| As always, we include a Ukrainian song in the program. Tonight at 3:38 AM it's Карамисли (Yokes) by DakhaBrakha. |
| *There are humans behind this program, even though our bot (software) runs things while we are asleep. Someone has to acquire and upload music for the bot to play, and fill in the missing songs on the playlist when the music recognition software does not know every song. |

| At 3:07 AM we have an old Ukrainian folk tune: Polka Rojkova by the Trembita Orchestra. |
| According to the Wikipedia, "The trembita is an alpine horn made of wood. It is common among Ukrainian highlanders Hutsuls who live in western Ukraine, eastern Poland, Slovakia, and northern Romania." |
|
I just saw a 1965 Ukrainian film in a theatre: Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors. It features the music of the Hutsul people, including the sound of the trembita. The entire movie is on YouTube, and a trembita trio appears at 25:30 and in other parts of the film. *** view movie *** |
| Now read about a DIY weapon called the Trembita, engineered by Ukrainians for their defense in the current war: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/09/its-simple-and-cheap-the-volunteers-making-ukraine-trembita-bomb |
