In honor of the bicentennial of Peru’s independence, a special hour of Peruvian music hosted by Luis Alejandro Vallebueno with guests Estefania Rivera and “Uncle Bill” Tilford will air on WRMI, which is sponsoring the program. It will be in Spanish and directed towards Central and South America, but the back end of the transmission should be listenable in much of North America. The music will be a combination of world-famous artists and others probably not known outside of Peru. There will also be some items regarding history, customs and shortwave in Peru.
