Welcome to Tertulia!

 When a group of individuals comes together and shares their ideas, talents, and anecdotes in the spirit of interpreting life, when there is song and poetry and when there is wit in conversation, then we say that a Tertulia has formed. Tertulia on WFCR is the space where a dialogue takes place among Spanish speakers and all those who are interested in Latin American culture and in the music, the arts, the language and the issues of actuality for Latinos in New England. On Tertulia a music lover will find Latin Jazz, Boleros, Salsa, Merengue, Nueva Trova, Tango and Folk music from Puerto Rico, Central America, Colombia, the Andean Region and Spain. And because there has traditionally been a great exchange of culture and music among the nationalities of the Americas, listeners will sometimes find the Spanish language selection interspersed with music from Brazil, Haiti, Martinique, Guadaloupe and Jamaica. Another element that is a constant on Tertulia is news and public affairs. News pieces in English and Spanish, discussion of topics of importance to the Latino community, and the weekly calendar of events, Página Informativa, are heard on Tertulia. If you are a Latino or a Latina living in the Western New England area, you can become a participant of Tertulia by tuning in every Sunday from 8:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. And, if you are not yet fully acquainted with the richness and beauty of Latin American music and culture you are invited to explore them with us!

¡Tertulia! Host

Raquel Obregon

Hi! I am Raquel Obregon, co-host of Tertulia. I was born in Lima, Peru and have always enjoyed listening and dancing to good Latin music. Over the years, the spectrum of Latin music has widened as a result of globalization, and Tertulia's music is a reflection of this. I enjoy sharing with our listeners new music, which includes fusions of Latin music with Brazilian, flamenco, and middle eastern music, as well as North and West African rhythms, in addition to the vintage music that I am sure brings back nostalgic memories to many of us. I also focus on the folkloric music of Latin America, to keep us in touch with our roots. I like to do Tertulia in a bilingual format so that we can include all of our listeners in a great big family.

I invite you to join us every Sunday, from 8-10pm.
