Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. (born October 20, 1971), known professionally as Snoop Dogg, is an American rapper and actor. One of the most iconic figures to emerge from the early-'90s G-funk era, Snoop Dogg evolved beyond his gangsta rap beginnings to become a lovable pop culture fixture with forays into television, movies, football coaching, and wrestling while expanding his musical reach far beyond his primary genre. Introduced through Dr. Dre's Top Five rap hit 'Deep Cover' (1992), Snoop quickly became one of the most famous stars in rap, partially due to his drawled, laconic rhyming, as well as the realistic violence implied in his lyrics. In 2012 Snoop converted to Rastafarianism and officially changed his stage name for the first time in 14 years to Snoop Lion. He released an album and a documentary under this name before changing his name once again only one year later in 2013. In this episode a playlist of songs created by Snoop during his Snoop Lion period, and published in a popular music streaming platform (that shall remain unnamed) between July 2012 and February 2013. Lineup: Snoop Lion, Peter Tosh, John Benitez, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, Buju Banton, General Echo, Tenor Saw, Dawn Penn, The Abyssinians, Burning Spear, Black Uhuru

/...) Mario Rivera fue uno de los acompañantes más solicitados en el negocio del jazz y la música latina, pero a pesar de haber aparecido en cientos de grabaciones (o quizás por esa misma razón), registró sólo un disco como líder, el impresionante "El Comandante", cuyo título alude al sobrenombre por el cual el saxofonista era bien conocido. El disco es una extraordinaria colección de ritmos procedentes de todos los rincones de sudámerica, desde el merengue de su tierra natal hasta la música de Brasil, pasando obviamente por el jazz más latino del cual Rivera es uno de sus exponentes más ilustres. Fue grabado entre el 6 y 7 de diciembre de 1993 y lanzado al mercado por la discográfica Groovin' High al año siguiente. El grupo que participó en esta grabación estuvo compuesto por el saxofonista George Coleman quien prácticamente cofirma la grabación y aporta el delicioso Pretty Blues. Y es que Coleman era una figura prominente del jazz y el blues desde principios de los 50 cuando se enroló con 17 años en la banda del gran BB King . Más tarde Coleman tocaría en el legendario quinteto de Miles Davis junto a Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter y Tony Williams participando activamente en 5 grabaciones del genial trompetista. Están además en este trabajo otros músicos tan extraordinarios como el malogrado pianista portorriqueño Hilton Ruiz ; Ed Cherry en la guitarra; Walter Booker y John Benitez en el bajo; Ignacio Berroa y Phoenix Rivera en la bateria (este último también en piano); José Alex Díaz a las congas y guiro; Rey Díaz a la tambora y Isidro Bobadillo en el sheqere y percusión dominicana, entre otros. Phoenix Rivera, hijo de Mario, fue además el director musical de este proyecto que tiene por única pega el hecho de ser el único ejemplo que se puede encontrar de la música de Mario Rivera. Una auténtica gozada que consigue que la tecla de avance de tu reproductor se convierta en un elemento prescindible. Si te gusta el jazz latino vas a disfrutar como un niño pequeño, tal y como él hacía construyendo su música. (...)

Shouting “Freedom” and other anti-government slogans, thousands of Cubans took to the streets in cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages, in a remarkable eruption of discontent not seen in nearly 30 years. Andrea, Orlando, and guest co-host, Carmen Maria Montiel, speak with Omar Bula Escobar, international analyst and expert on Geopolitics and with famed musician John Benitez. They discuss the plight of Cubans and others who suffer under socialism, and how 'socialism' stopped being a dirty word for some American voters. The protesters pouring into streets across Cuba have a common rallying cry: “Patria y Vida,” or “Fatherland and Life.” The phrase comes from a hip-hop song released a few months ago by dissident Cuban artists who set out to challenge the government—and in the process helped spark a wave of protests against the 62-year communist regime.
