Studio Ochenta Presents: La Cabina Telefónica Feb 10, 2023

Before cell phones and the internet, if you wanted to call La Casa, you’d have to stroll into a cabina telefónica (calling center) and pay for some minutes with a few quarters.

Set in 1995, La Cabina Telefónica is a bilingual audio novela that tells the story of Matty Cardona, a Colombian immigrant who launched Matty's Llamadas y Servicios 82 to do just that. She runs the shop in Jackson Heights, Queens with her daughter Rossy and offers calling, printing, faxing, money transfers and much more to her local clients. Each episode includes a phone call in a phone booth at Matty's, with a different story about familia, love and community.

El Guacho tells him the story of the two rhythm instruments of cumbia and vallenato: the caja and the guacharaca, and how so many rhythms, and even a rather fortunate accident, trace their roots to these two sounds.

This week’s recommendation is the music of Gabriel Duéñez. He’s a sonidero from Monterrey, and he’s the one to thank for the “accident” that gave life to the now beloved cumbia rebajada. Visit our website, that you can find in our shownotes, for links to his music.

Studio Ochenta Presents: Mija Música Sep 07, 2022

The city of Monterrey, Mexico absolutely loves Colombian vallenato. This music was born thousands of miles away from here, but each one of its elements–the rhythm, the accordion, the lyrical nostalgia–allow us to understand how it managed to grow roots in this city.

Mija Podcast is back with a special season: "Mija Música." This 6-episode fiction miniseries tells the story of Gavilán, a young man who lives in New York, but returns to his hometown of Monterrey for his grandfather's funeral. His Grandpa Lolo was a vallenato musician, and during Gavilán's visit he gradually threads the story of how Monterrey became so fond of this Colombian musical style that it became an essential part of the city's soundtrack.

New episodes will be released weekly starting September 14.
