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 to another edition of East to West, East to West songbook. The best thing about traveling is that you can get to go home, and I’m thrilled to be back after traveling through Europe, Portugal specifically; where I collected not just memories, but some fantastic music along the way. From the lobbies of hotels to cars of Ubers and taxi drivers, the journey was full of unique sounds that really brought the culture to life. It’s one of my favorite aspects of traveling, not just the sites, flavors and attractions, but also the music that fills the air and sets the tone for each and every experience.
And I’m not just talking about Fado, which is the traditional Portuguese music. I discovered many different vibes, rhythms, and genres during my time in Portugal, some English as well. And today I’m so excited to share some of those few tracks. Through the hundreds of miles that I traveled through Portugal, I’ve listened to multiple radio stations. I kind of ‘scanned the dial’ as they say, seeking for music. Some station I got connected with and some I just passed by, and finally I landed on one radio station, smooth FM. I’ll talk more about smooth FM network of seven radio station throughout Portugal, with beautiful music – most of it in English by the way – but a lot of original music from Portugal. So, stay with me for the next two hours and join me on a journey around the world with music featuring the sounds of smooth Santana, Hozier, Paul McCartney, and many more. I promise you a chilled cool and relaxing music for your evening.
So, unplug, relax, and stay with me.
