Itinerarios was a weekly two-hour radio program featuring music and musicians from throughout Latin America. Music by the acknowledged masters of Mexico, South and Central America and the Caribbean Islands was presented in a free-flowing session which also features performers with Latin American affiliations.
These world class artists bring a distinctive interpretive power to the music of Latin America, and the great body of European music. A typical edition of Itinerarios might place an interpretation of Beethoven played by the Mexican pianist Jorge Federico Osorio alongside the guitar music of Paraguayan composer Augustín Barrios performed by the Welsh guitarist David Russell.
Itinerarios aired on KPAC and KTXI from the fall of 2003 to January 2013. Although the show has ceased production, you may still access previous playlists and articles associated with the show online through this page.
