Sister Salsa and Mambo Mama Take to the Airwaves

by Amy West (F'02)

Sister Salsa and Mambo Mama begin bringing radio to the Tufts campus on Thursday, October 4 between one and two o'clock in the afternoon.  Tune your radios to WMFO 91.5 FM every Thursday afternoon and hear the latest in alternative international news.  Listen to in-depth analysis and intriguing discussion from your Fletcher friends and faculty.  Dream of the day when Sister Salsa and Mambo Mama request your melodious voice of wisdom to sing your knowledge on their show.

Tune in to WMFO 91.5 FM!

Born of a desire to see Fletcher expand its communication to both the campus community and the surrounding area, "World In Focus", a radio show combining international news and discourse, will be a source you can count on for the latest "scoop" around the world.  "World in Focus" finds its inspiration from radio initiatives in various regions around the world: from the voices emanating from Tanzanian refugee camps, to rebel enclaves linked to shortwave posts in East Timor, to rural villages in El Salvador.  Radio continues to keep people in touch with the world around them and has proved to empower people with needed information. 

Radio is a tool that is far from passé, despite our overwhelming dependence on television and internet.   In the hopes that Fletcher can expand its communication base and in the spirit of the "Information Age", Sister Salsa and Mambo Mama invite you to help promote, contribute your ideas, and tune in faithfully to WMFO, 91.5 FM.
