You asked, and here it is! Download the August 30th playlist from today's broadcast showcasing timeless Afro-Latin rhythms including Cumbias, Champeta, and other incredible sounds.

While my journey to Cartagena, Colombia is still several months away, I've begun diving deep into my music collection—preparing for the cultural exploration ahead. In the process, I discovered some truly remarkable tracks that deserve to be shared with our entire listening community.

Recently, I've noticed a surge of DJs and producers sampling these classic recordings, weaving them into fresh remixes and contemporary works. The new music is exciting, but I find myself drawn even more deeply to these original recordings—they carry an authentic energy that's irreplaceable.

Join us next week! The response has been so enthusiastic that I've decided to create a second installment featuring more of these incredible sounds.

World In Chicago broadcasts live from Chicago and Paris every Tuesday at 5 PM Central Time on WHPK 88.5 FM. Stream us online at www.whpk.org!
