Pandora
Go to Pandora and don't feel shy.... Type Porno Para Ricardo, and you can create a great radio station featuring their music.
The Black Sheep of Exile, KillCastro, and Cuba Underground talked the wonderful team of Pandora into including Porno Para Ricardo's discography in the Music Genome Project and the most personal of all Internet radio stations.
The tyranny ostracizes them, we put them at the reach of the whole damn globle.

CB- back in the days before the World Wide Web, I ran Radio Roquero, a weekly radio broadcast on Shortwave radio from Miami that was the first program of rock and punk music broadcast to Cuba.
We got under El Comandante's skin so bad that he would jam our transmissions, but from the reception reports I received from listeners on the island the jamming only made listening difficult in the Havana area [I got plenty of letters from listeners in the provinces, especially in Oriente]
In addition to foreign rock and punk bands, I played Cuban bands and artists from both sides of the Florida Straits, including Carlos Varela, Zeus, Detenidos, Cosa Nostra, Nil Lara, Nuclear Valdez, Bay of Pigs and my own band Arranca [whenever our punk version of the Cuban national anthem, Himno Racional, came on the air, the jamming got particularly intense!]
I remember your story about Himno Nacional, Victor, and it still resonates in my iPod.
I am glad we can help Gorki and these lads from Porno Para Ricardo to beat the living hell out of Castro....
By the way, I got e-mails today from Cuba, the kids are checking Pandora, and that's make me happy. Victor, go to our other blog: The Black Sheep of Exile and check my interview with Gorki, el inxilio de Gorki. I am sure you're going to like it a lot.
que dicen tus sources esta noche?
Hay mucha gente bebiendo ron , champagne, vinos y cuban libres en Miami...
dame algo bueno
Fantomas, no tengo confirmacion de nada.
Por suerte no tengo que esperar que se muera el viejo loco para darme unos tragos!
Hey Charlie - read the interview and it is very interesting
Who knows? Maybe the day that the regime falls we can have a concert in my hometown of La Habana with Porno for Ricardo and a reunited Arranca!
That's great that you have Himno on your Ipod
I didn't know if you had the CD, but if you don't, let me know where to send it and I'll mail one your way
Saludos
Victor
