WEB RADIO Mexico global reggae charts featured voter INTERVIEW This month we feature two of our voters. First we have Misachael J. Solis, who is the director of a reggae webradio station in Mexico called Cabina420 RADIO. Global Reggae Charts: Please introduce yourself and your radio show to our readers! Misachael J. Solis: Hi, I‘m Misachael J. Solis from Mexico City; I‘m the director of the radio station Cabina420 RADIO, a station that has more than 30 radio programs and has radio shows from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. GRC: What made you fall in love with reggae? MJS: At an early age I felt a great attraction to music. I took guitar lessons creating my first band at the age of 16. Years later, I got involved with the DJ culture, which I have continued until today, having that musical restlessness and the constant search. It came to my hands, rather, to my ears – music from Marley – which opened the way for me to investigate more about that cadenced sound, which created in me an insatiable thirst to know more of that music called reggae. The way to balance my thoughts and ‘align my chakras’ is what makes reggae music a fundamental part of my life. GRC: Could you give a little insight into the Mexican reggae scene? The reggae scene in Mexico has grown exponentially in recent years – it was long thought that in my country there was not a reggae scene as such, now that idea is totally false. There is a whole movement that includes bands, DJs, soundsystems, media, MCs, producers, promoters, and graphic artists that make the reggae scene in Mexico be in constant, but mainly healthy, growth. GRC: How did you get into radio and what is your motivation? MJS: My desire to know music and a natural interest in technical issues related to music led me to study Audio Engineering, concluding the race I was invited to produce a radio program on FM called “Sonic Fluid.” Many years after that project ended, the record label Tropic-All Disco invited the Sound Fire On System – a crew to which I belong – to produce a radio program specializing in reggae music that we call “Cabina420 Radio Show.” The station Tropic-All disappeared and an Internet radio project called „Rastamania Radio“ invited us to be part of its programming; after a couple of years, Rastamania disappeared giving way to the creation of “Cabina420 RADIO.” Always, my motivation is to spread the reggae music, either as a DJ, broadcaster, or programmer on the radio. GRC: What spectrum of music do you play in your show, and which artists have you found most inspiring lately? global reggae charts | issue 18 / nov 2018 4
global reggae charts featured voter MJS: Wow! This question is good for a broad answer, I will try to answer in a simple way; the spectrum of music that is programmed on the station and on their respective radio shows is mainly reggae, but with all its variants. The slogan of the station is “A Global Radio with Sounds of the Ghetto,” so it allows us to spread all the music created from the roots, music that comes from the town, from the neighborhood, independent music, and also from already established artists, but always keeping in mind the roots. In the case of Cabina420 RADIO, because it is a station with origins in Latin America, we give a lot of diffusion to projects from countries like Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico to mention a few, in the same way we give out to European projects because in these countries there are many fans of reggae music that is made in countries like Germany, Italy, France, or Spain. Lately, projects like Kabaka Pyramid, Dactah Chando, Havana Meets Kingston, or City Kay – they surprised me, when I heard that fusion and experimentation of sounds of diverse origins, it keeps me very motivated. One more is the new album New Generation from Groundation, it sounds really cool! short FACTS Station: Cabina420 RADIO Location: México, Colombia, Argentina Host: Misachael J.

GRC: Thank you for your time! MJS: Gracias por siempre! www.radiomagenta.it GRC: As a voter on the Global Reggae Charts: what is your criteria vote for a certain song or album?
