We debuted two tracks from Joan Soriano’s magnificent new CD El Duque de la Bachata on today’s edition of Global Beat, along with the usual eclectic mix of reggae, samba, salsa et al. The show can be heard via MP3 stream for two weeks at the KFAI site, where the complete playlist is posted (here as well, after the break).
