WELCOME!
African, Latin & Caribbean music every Sunday here on WRIR!
Today, as we on Sundays at WRIR are “los campeones de la musica Colombiana” in RVA, we start with a sampling of different African, Latin & Caribbean styles of music from Colombia.
We finish with great music from Benin.
New music, new reissues, rarities and of course songs you won’t hear on radio any place but here at WRIR.
