Adam Aguirre

Host

Adam joined the Raices Collective in Aug. 2005 because he wanted to meet the people behind the great showsthat had been the soundtrack to life with his kids. He quickly learned that each member and the Collectiveas a whole does more than just play music: each show is an opportunity to enrich, educate, enlightenthe community by presenting the variety of people, traditions, and values that are part of a larger Latinoculture, and each Raices member does so in his/her own unique way. The challenge is to seek out thoseideas, agenda, and leaders, and present them in a fresh, relevant, fair and accurate light, every week.Adam know's that the Raices Collective strives for and accomplishes this overall goal, and hopes that he hascontributed, even in a small way, to helping the Collective do this at KUNM. It is his privilege to be part ofthe Raices Collective.

Beside the B-Side Players

Sat. 3/ 23  2p: My first assignment with Raices took me to a B-Side Players show that was "gateway",  in Spanish. Karlos Paez and the Players live south of no north. They bring big border attitude, crazy Latin ritmos, their latest CD "Revolutionize", and a message of peace and community to RAICES. Minutes before a performance, Karlos talks with us in a conversation recorded out behind Low Spirits. We have all the high-lights... and all the details of the B-Side Players´return for a live performance April 6 at 20th annual Cesar Chavez celebration at the NHCC. RAICES will be there too!
