cacaoRADIO - Radioactivity all over the World

We've been receiving emails from people who complain about some radio links that don't work. We apologize and at the same time we have to say we don't control all the links from this site. We present the radio station links we found active at the moment of building the page.

welcome to cacaoRADIO. I've decided to consider the internet as an excellent place to find music being broadcasted from all over the world. Signals transmitted by radio stations that are impossible to catch by our little receptors. What a beautiful world it would be.

A Long time ago, in 1987, I went to Miami, Florida with some relatives to experiment for the first time a little bit of Americana. We bought a little Sony digital radio am/fm receiver for my grandfather, who loved to listening to short wave radio stations. The receiver -being digital- had buttons and my grandfather prefeered the dial of his old Hitachi radio; so I ended using that super powerful digital receiver more than my grandfather actually did. My grandfather was an analog man.

The little booklet that came with the radio specified hours for listening to each country's radio stations, depending on where you were and what time of the year it was. For instance: we're in summer, southern hemisphere, Peru, and we would love to listen to a radio station from... let's say, oh, that socialist paradise called Cuba. Juácate! The booklet said what frequency we had to sintonize and what time of the day. Of course, the music Cuban radio would broadcast had to be great. I managed to listen to some news, some Che Guevara's praises and comments about how evil United States is, but how wonderful is to live in Cuba.

Every country has a different way to broadcast their own music and other countries'. We share the same frequencies and diverse forms of expression. Artists, musical genres, accents and even dialects inside the territory. Can those be found? Now, more than ever thanks to the World Wide Web.

Anyway, 17 years later, internet is the most important way of musical difusion. But for cacaoRADIO, radio is closer to people, so we are making it simple.
