Re: [Swprograms] Favorite *non-English* music on shortwave?

["Mike Wolfson" <mwolfson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks for the continued responses to the topic.

I fear that it was my message to Rich that got the ball rolling on this one. 
My original suggestion to Rich was for non English "Easy Listening" 
alternatives with an emphasis on music.  I asked the question because so 
many former English language broadcasters in general and RCI in particular 
have basically abandoned English language broadcasting to North America.  I 
really enjoyed listening to them as a neighbor to the US and the unique 
perspective they have as a "foreign" country to us while being our next door 
neighbor.  I'm trying to continue being a shortwave listener and was seeking 
new targets to listen to.....
