La Santa Leticia
Come in for a ride to the sun & beyond.
Santa Leticia is a selectora that spins old and new music from dreamy lands where the sun shines brightly. Andalusian by origin and based in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK), Leticia mainly collects records from tropical and Mediterranean climates.
Find her on Radio Alhara with her monthly show "Dig A Bit Further", and on Newcastle's Slack’s Radio, where she hosts “Un Rayo de Sol”. She is the co-founder of Rainforest Disco, a regular vinyl-only party in the North East of England where she spins Caribbean, Brazilian, Latin American, African wax and beyond. In her sets, expect psychedelic, raw, and soulful music; spacey-echoey organs and fuzzy guitars, groovy accordions and hot tambores – sounds that inspire alegría, Lamento and Fuego.
"For this episode, I have selected records from Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, and Belize; some were found on trips to Mexico and Colombia’s Caribbean coast, and haven’t been played for years. I wanted to give them the respect they deserve by being played on a modern sound system - like bringing your grandparents out for a dance!"
