Upcoming events:

Saturday, May 17th, 6pm - 9pm: Transpacific Sound Paradise live from Barbes w/ Pistolera, Metrofolk, Yan Yalego and more

Rob and his live remote sidekick Irene Trudel return to Barbes, the cozy music-lover's paradise at 376 9th Street (corner of 6th Ave.) in Park Slope, Brooklyn for another early evening of wall-to-wall music broadcast live on the radio. As always the show is open to all, free of charge, and if that's not enough, there will be FMU swag giveaways too.

Tonight's players included a couple of Frenchmen: Yan Yalego, representing the Gallic wing of the global ukelele movement; and veteran pop crooner Thierry Stremler, who among his many musical undertakings recently contributed songwriting to an album by the iconic Francoise Hardy. To confuse things a bit, Minnesota guitarist Reynold Phillipsek will play a couple of pieces in the French jazz manouche style. Then things take an Eastern European turn with Metrofolk, local purveyors of traditional Hungarian tanchaz (dance-house) music. Finally it's back to this side of the Atlantic with Pistolera, the charismatic femme-centric Nuyo-Mexican conjunto who will close the broadcast with feisty cumbias, rancheras and other good things from south of the border via NYC.
