Hola amigos! Hemispherios is WREK’s first Hispanic specialty show and one of the only Latin Rock shows on the radio in the U.S. Often overshadowed by other rhythms, Latin Rock emerged in Latin America during the 60’s and 70’s off of the influence of the American and British rock scenes. Ever since, the style has evolved by blending-in with other Hispanic as well as non-Hispanic rhythms such as Salsa, Tango, Jazz and Reggae, to bring delightful tunes into our lives. Join us every Monday from 6 to 7 pm for some awesome music you won’t hear anywhere else.
Kosher Noise, WREK's Israeli music show, brings you old and new tunes from the Holy Land - everything from
jazz, hip-hop, rap, pop and even some klezmer to round it out. Jewish music, not surprisingly, accompanied Jewish
people around the globe and we follow and sample it for you. One of the cool things you will notice is that much of
the now "pop" music of Israel is about 10 years behind America in its style, so if you liked the late 80's
and 90's (who doesn't?) you're in for a treat in that deparment. For 60 minutes and change, you are highly
encouraged to have a taste of this world's melting pot - aka JOM. Let's make a deal: If you don't like our show,
we'll turn the clock back to 7 PM for you.
A mix of Hindi music from the great Indian sub-continent featuring various music styles such as Punjabi,
Hindi, and much more. Featuring new and old artists like A.R. Rahman, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Mohd. Rafi,
Mukesh, etc. Requests are welcomed. Tune in every week to hear your favorite Indian song on this new show. The show
is presented by India Club at Georgia Tech.
STILL NOT AN AFRO-POP SHOW! King Sunny Ade, Fela, Miriam Makeba, Master Drummers of Dagbon, people whose
names we don't even know. From the modern to the ancient. Your hosts try to prove that African Music really is a
"Vast Sprawling Cornucopia of Sound"!. Fortunately, that's not an especially hard task.
A mix of classic zouk love, kompa, beguine, and kizomba. The rich musical heritage of the French Caribbean is put on display for an hour with jams ranging from the uptempo kompa sounds of artists such as Zin and Kompa Kreyol, through the politically inspired vibes of Ti Manno, to the musical wizardry of collectives such as Haitiando and Haiti Twoubadou. Though the tracklist is primarily zouk (can you say Kassav?) and zouk love classics from popular French Carribean artists of the last decade (Slai, Leila Chicot, Thierry Cham) and more current acts (Princess Lova, Ayenn, Soumia, Carimi!!!), the musical odyssey that is Monday Night Fever takes you beyond these zouk artists to help you appreciate the similarities between French Caribbean music and other closely related musical styles, such as kizomba (Bruna, Oliver N'goma) and cabo love. Honestly, you never know what we're about to hit you with, but the soothing effect of the music is just what you need after a rough Monday, so tune in..........
