Metro Mambo
The Metro Mambo Collection channel offers samples of my 18,000+ item collection of Palladium Ballroom-era Latin-jazz and mambo recordings and ephemera, heard weekly on The Latin Flavor Classic Edition (LFCE) live-streaming on www.wpfwfm.org (Sun. 6 to 8pm EST) on Washington DC's WPFW 89.3 FM. Part of DC's 'Best Weekend Lineup' (Washington City Paper, June 2014), LFCE host/producer Jim Byers has celebrated the music and its history on-air since 1996. With rare exceptions, posts to this channel will mark the tune's first appearance on YouTube offering (as with the radio program) a listening experience you'll have nowhere else. Enjoy!
