Cool Spot Selections
05.17.24

LINK UP! Musical ‘ting called, Cool Spot Selections is where crucial and cultural vibrations intersect. Inspired by the casual outdoor Cool Spots of Belize where locals stop over for refreshments, food and music, every episode evokes warm sea breezes and luxuriant jungles; corrugated steel fences lined with coconut trees and rolling turquoise waves meant to replenish one’s vibes. Explore the foundations of riddim, bass and kulcha from genre-to-genre: sonic island hopping throughout the Lesser Antilles to Central America with pace — anchored by the sounds of the Caribbean and beyond.
