    North and South of the Border

    The band Calexico takes its name from a California border town and the band manages to bridge the borders of country, folk, jazz, surf, mariachi, and the blues as well. They play live in our studio today. Also, The Spanish Harlem Orchestra is dedicated to preserving the vital history of classic latin dance orchestras and writing and arranging new music for the audience of today. The orchestra’s founder salsa great Oscar Hernandez joins John Schaefer in the studio to talk about their newest album, Across 110 Street.
