East to West World Music ft. Earth, Wind & Fire
with Eitan Battat (S4 | E178)
Opening Music: MFSB (as always), the signature sound of East to West.
WERB 107.5 music to chill and vibe with.
Welcome to our listeners globally and Coast to Coast in the US. You are at the right URL WERB radio.com, at the right time. And you are on another program of East to West, and this is Eitan Battat.
Welcome, my dear and loyal listeners, to the East to West songbook. The songbook refers to a compilation of the music I’ve put together for you, from East to West, North to South and not necessarily in this order, for you to experience and enjoy world music.
It’s continuously in the news and right in front of us, so many protesters are disrupting real life with their causes. Now don’t misunderstand me, I’m all for free speech and letting the world know about your cause. But really disrupting life for people that may even believe in the same cause you have; I really don’t accept. I know, I know. Protesting is one of the fundamentals of our democracy, and I will always support protesting for any cause, but not any expense of others.
There are a bunch of protesters in Frankfurt, Germany, who glued themselves to the runway. Yes, glued themselves to the runway. I don’t know what they were protesting about, but for three hours they have disrupted flights and caused anguish for so many travelers.
They are certain genres of music that I don’t like. Well, yeah, like heavy metal music cause that’s not really my style. I don’t like it. It does not mean that I’m going to buy a ticket for some heavy metal group and stand outside and protest, right?
I truly believe that if there is anything to change in this world, we can do it through music. Don’t you think? Ray Charles said “I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts, like my ribs, like my kidneys, like my heart, like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me, like food and water.”
Boy, do I feel the same. Music is certainly a necessity and that’s why you are here on East to West. So, I’ve got a great program here for you tonight. Some guests from Italy going to call live to the studio. We have some great music coming up, music that you forget about, but I’m going to be happy to remind you. The oldies, the newies. So, sit back, relax, keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy the ride.
Stay with me.
