Frecuencia Afro Blue

Frecuencia Afro Blue is a Spanish-language music program that follows jazz through its Black roots, its Latin American branches, and its many rhythmic detours. It has the feel of a long-form radio voyage rather than a quick playlist. The selections are framed with care. Albums arrive with backstory, musicians are placed inside scenes, and songs often come with the circumstances that shaped them. The show regularly highlights Ibero-American and Latin American artists, including composers, instrumentalists, singers, and groups working around jazz, soul, funk, cumbia, fusion, and song-based traditions. One episode turns toward Mujeres de Iberoamérica en el Jazz and its songbook of original compositions. Another spends time with David Chorne's album Caras, tracing images of Entre Ríos, night landscapes, harmonic movement, and collaborators such as Maria Pien and Gabriela Sonis. The program also reaches into jazz history, including a celebration of its first 50 programs through early 1960s Porteña bohemia and Leandro Gato Barbieri's path from Rosario to Buenos Aires and New York. It likes musicians with stories. Juan Chiavasa's solo debut becomes a way to talk about family listening, fusion, Berklee, and the pull of the New York scene. The Radda Old Boys' Manos becomes a tribute to Rubén Radda through players connected to his music. Liliana Herrero's Fuera de Lugar is introduced as a guided listen from Buenos Aires. Sabia's vocal chemistry opens a path into jazz, soul, funk, and related rhythms. The pacing is unhurried. Introductions can be expansive, but they usually lead back to records, arrangements, influences, and the pleasure of hearing artists explain their own work. Frecuencia Afro Blue suits listeners who like jazz with geography attached: Málaga, Marbella, Buenos Aires, Rosario, Entre Ríos, Uruguay, and the wider routes between them. It is knowledgeable without becoming academic. The show is most rewarding for people who want discovery, musical lineage, and generous context in the same sitting.
