Una melodía rumana que conecta Chicago y Lisboa
A Romanian melody linking Chicago and Lisbon

Abrimos el programa siguiendo el hilo de nuestra anterior emisión, recordando músicas del siglo pasado con aires turcos y rumanos recuperadas para nuestro disfrute por Canary Records. Una melodía rumana tocada en Chicago en los años 60 de repente nos conecta con la Lisboa del siglo XXI y el recuerdo de la banda Melech Mechaya, que también hizo uso de ella. Continuamos con más novedades de inspiraciones griegas, sirias, colombianas, hispanofrancesas, brasileñas y argentinas.

We open the show following the thread of our previous broadcast, recalling music from the last century with Turkish and Romanian flavours, recovered for our enjoyment by Canary Records. A Romanian melody played in Chicago in the 1960s suddenly connects us with Lisbon in the 21st century and the memory of the band Melech Mechaya, who also made use of it. We continue with more new releases inspired by Greek, Syrian, Colombian, Spanish-French, Brazilian and Argentine sounds.
