93.3 La Raza

Not the first Spanish-language station we've reviewed, but so far the best. It even had clear reception! All the way to school we squealed in delight listening to "Los Hijos de la Bahia" (lit.: the sons of the bay), La Raza's slightly crude, sometimes-intelligible morning show. The fast-talking hijos and their ecstatic callers are fun to listen to even if you don't understand Spanish. It's worth a listen just to hear the cacoughany of censor-bleeps and bad laugh tracks. Besides, listening to Los Hijos will prepare you for anything your Spanish teacher could throw at you in an oral exam!

As if that wasn't enough, La Raza plays some bumpin' tunes. Heartfelt love songs and ranchera music galore. I know if I hadn't been driving I surely would have gotten up and danced. I think it's time for me to download some ranchera music.
"I like this song," said Christie about one such track. We do too, Christie. We do too.

Verdict: Come for the accordions; stay for the laugh tracks. This is a good one if you just wanna get your mind off things.

Rating: B+
