Funk Cantina w/ Ken Sable - May 2023

Tana Yonas collects songs like souvenirs, each recalling precious moments found leafing through dusty foreign record shops or catching sonic fragments weathered by time from the radio of bumpy taxi rides. Listen as she delicately guilds together these memories and shares music from lesser known and under represented musical traditions from across the globe and decades.

Some people say "DJaying" is an art form, but for WILLIAM ROBBINS, TOMMY CASTRO and PLANET B it is more like a spiritual exercise. Their sets which are inherently something ephemeral, but through the manipulation of knobs and buttons, create unforgettable timeless masterpieces. These are their stories. Executive Producer Dick Wolf.
