Country, Cuban and Cajun: Raul Malo & The Mavericks; The Pine Leaf Boys Country, Cuban and Cajun: Raul Malo & The Mavericks; The Pine Leaf Boys February 8th, 2023 (Hour 1)
Country, Cuban and Cajun: Raul Malo & The Mavericks; The Pine Leaf Boys

We meet Raul Malo, the Miami-born and Cuban-descended singer and leader of The Mavericks, known for country, pop and roots rock. We’ll talk about that and Latin music, all behind the band’s huge success in country music and their recent successful all Spanish language recording. Then a live concert and conversation with the Pine Leaf Boys as Louisiana French two-steps meet rock n roll. Plus music from Celia Cruz, Patsy Cline, Los Lobos and Professor Longhair.

AMERICAN ROUTES ON INSTAGRAM

RECORDS, JUKEBOXES AND RADIO

April 25th, 2007

American Routes joins with two record men this week to study the means of production in jazz and country. Michael Cuscuna, founder of Mosaic Records, talks about his reissuing of lavish collector’s sets of jazz from Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Count Basie and many more. Al Hawkes joins us from the wilds of Maine where he’s been making old-time country, bluegrass and rockabilly records since 1955—some of his own, some on his independent Event Records label.
