Desert Tracks Radio

Desert Tracks Radio broadcasts to the whole world from Las Grutas, a village of a thousand souls on the Gulf of San Matias, in Argentine Patagonia, between the steppe and the sea, where the tide leaves natural pools in the rock - a town famous for the warmest sea water in the country, and now for a radio.

The programming runs twenty-four hours live, musica de la buena - good music with its own style, in the station's words - rock leading, jazz beside it, from the classics to the long tracks the FM never plays, and the hosts speak both languages of the stream. It is the kind of eclectic dial that a beach town in the desert somehow produces; the name fits: tracks in the desert, tracks on the air.

The stream runs from deserttracksradio.com.ar, in Spanish and English, day and night, in any season, and the Facebook page carries the station's day. Patagonia has many sounds; this is one of the good ones.
