Well, this past Saturday May 2, was the 11th anniversary of my radio show: El Vagon Alternativo. Wow! I can't believe that it has been 11 years since I debuted this show. So much has happened. I remember so well when this show started. It was a tryout show that was sandwiched in with another show and DJ. His name was Mauricio and he was gracious enough to donate an hour of his show to see how well the audience would accept this new proposal. Initially it was from 9 to 10 pm Saturday nights. This went on for 4 months. Mauricio left and the show was extended to 2 hours, 8 till 10 pm. another two months past till the show was extended to 4 hours! 8pm till midnight. This show has opened the minds of many listeners as to what is alternative music and all of its subgenres. I have introduced many different musical genres to the Ecuadorian community. We have had artists from different parts of the world in the studio for interviews and acoustic sessions. This show is one of the very few that has spotlighted on the local Ecuadorian alternative music scene. Over 500 shows have been on air in these last 11 years and I feel very proud that I have lasted this long. Thank you to the listeners who have stood by me all this time giving me your support and telling me how much this show means to you. Thank you to the new listeners who have contacted me and said how much of an impact this music has been on you.
For those who didn't catch the show this past Saturday, I celebrated teh show with Listener's Appreciation Night. You, the listeners has the opportunity to pick the songs and groups that you wanted to hear. I also brought back the "check it out, Guess and Win! segment where you would have to call in to guess the artist and song to win a copy of the first compilation of Lo Mejor Del Vagon Alternativo Vol.1 (The Best Of El Vagon Alternativo Vol. 1)
Speaking of that Cd, if you are interested in buying a copy of Lo Mejor del Vagon Alternativo Vol. 1, just send me an email at elvagonalternativo@hotmail.com and I will give the information as well as the price of the Cd.
To check out great music from different artists in different genres of the alternative music scene click on www.myspace.com/elvagonalternativo I know you will find something to your liking.

ResponderEliminarHey, none of this would be possible if yuor fans weren't that loyal to the alternative sounds, as well as to you! I'm proud to see how far you've been through all these 11 years, though I can't say much due to I haven't heard it from the beginning, so far i've enjoyed it & the best is that i can manage to speak 'bout this genre thanks to your awsome show.
