NTS GUIDE TO: YU-MEX

An hour of Mexican Mariachi & Rancheras sung in Croatian and Serbian, produced in the post-war period in Yugoslavia. Many of the films shown in Yugoslavia in the 1950s–1960s were Mexican, due to a restriction on importing Soviet and American films. As a result, everything Mexican became popular in Yugoslavia and many musicians started to don sombreros to perform Mexican music, either singing in Serbo-Croatian or in the original Spanish.

Soul Opera Classic Rock

Hannah Catherine Jones splits things open for the Opera Show: an exploration of the best in opera old and new, as well as an unearthing of the operatic in other records from soul, jazz or further afield.
