I'm subbing for a few DJs today! I'll be featuring jazz and its many influences, as well as salsa, cumbia, plena, and more!

No theme today! Keeping it low key today--I'm sure we're all a bit tired with the time adjustment. I'm trying to branch a bit out of my comfort zone and play more music outside of salsa and sounds from Latin America.

Willie Colón passed away last week on February 21, 2026. He was one of the most admired musicians on the Fania music label, performing with Ruben Blades, Héctor Lavoe, and more. His trombone playing revolutionized Latin music and helped define the New York salsa sound of the 1970s.

Colón, like many musicians, lived a complicated life. While songs like "El Gran Verón" challenged transphobia in the Latine community, he became more openly prejudiced towards marginalized groups in his later years in life.

I encourage you all to read about Willie Colón and his story, both his music and his more questionable statements later in life, as we listen to some of his most famous songs and underrated B-Sides. We'll also hear highlights from Fania, like Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Mongo Santamaria, and the Fania All-Stars, among others.

8-9 am: Celebrating Puerto Rican music and the musicians inspired by Puerto Rican artists

Bad Bunny's and his universe shattering album DeBí TiRaR MáS FOToS has been making a lot of headlines recently, both after winning album of the year at the Grammys and his halftime show performance later today.

It seems like everyone has something to say about Bad Bunny, reggaetón, and Puerto Rican music in general. Too often, though, music fans will be able to decipher between different niches of metal and punk but can't tell the difference between bomba and plena. Today, let's take a step back and listen to the sounds that inspired Bad Bunny's latest project, among many other musicians from Puerto Rico, Latin America, and the diaspora.

First installment of some worldly echoes!
