CD of the Month

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Area 52 

Area 52 contains nine of Rod and Gab's favorite songs from their own catalogue re-arranged and re-configured for a 13-piece Cuban orchestra comprised of some of Havana's finest young players, collectively known as C.U.B.A. This two-disc set includes a 30-minute 'making-of' documentary on DVD.

I hope you will become a member of WYSO and claim a copy of this special album.  For $75, we will send you this CD AND a Member Card (it really does pay for the pledge in just a couple uses). I am so pleased to share this music. I hope you will invest in Music Worth Hearing.

Thank you,

Niki Dakota
Music Director, WYSO-FM
