Lingua Franca
WBOM plays music primarily in English throughout the day, but our new show – Lingua Franca – features the best music from around the world.
We’ve been having a lot of fun programming the show and we are trying to add music in as many languages as possible. So far, the playlist includes music in Albanian, Arabic, Ashanti, Bengali, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, Gaelic, German, Greek, Hawaiian, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mongolian, Norwegian, Pinoy, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Sami, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh, Xhosa, and Zulu. It’s interesting to hear the “hit” sounds from around the world. We’ve also been surprised to discover familiar songs in English in other languages – whether they originated in another language or were covered later.
Tune into Lingua Franca Saturday and Sunday nights around 8 pm – immediately after The Inner Groove on Saturday, and Performance on Sunday.
If you have a song you’d like us to add to the mix, let us know about it. Email us at radio.wbom@gmail.com with the language it is in.
