There ain't nothing like WFMU. We lightheartedly promote our radio station as the "Freeform Station of the Nation" but I do think it's appropriate. Where else can I jump on the air and play whatever I fancy this week? Program hosts are given complete freedom within FCC guidelines to go where their hearts lead them.
Tonight, my heart is being led to Barbés, a wonderful little club in Park Slope, Brooklyn that also embodies the spirit of freeform, with a leaning towards world music ensembles. Tonight at 6, I invite you to join me & Rob Weisberg for another Transpacific Sound Paradise broadcast on WFMU live from Barbes in Brooklyn. It's free admission, and being broadcast/streamed in real time, with an archive available after the fact.
On tap live: Patrick Farrell(accordion) and Ben Holmes (trumpet), who mix their adoration of East European music with the odd bit of 60s pop and other strange musical bedfellows; uproarious Balkan-punky Barcelona band Freak Fandango Orchestra, and CHIA's Dance Party, brassy spin-off of acclaimed Colombian roots band.
