music in a foreing language

Music In a Foreign Language is an online radio from Cordoba, Argentina, a city with a long rock tradition, produced by DJ Diego Garcia - and the name is a wink at how most of its audience first met this music: songs in English, heard from far away.

The playlist digs into the alternative catalogue: indie and post-rock beside gothic rock and rock'n'roll, DJ selections and live-music energy rather than chart hits, the deep cuts and not just the singles - the kind of music corporate radio ignores. From the eighties goth scene to the newest indie wave, the through-line is taste. There is no chatter between songs: the music is the message.

The station streams on Zeno.FM, keeps its own microsite and Instagram account, and runs on listener donations, with a PayPal link standing in for advertising - independent radio in the literal sense, radio as a hobby that became a service, from Cordoba to anyone who finds it.
