I was thinking the same thing but language was clearly not Spanish, music was as if from subcontinent, which was language WRMI would have been broadcasting.  Also, music continued into 1200 utc hour which WRMI lists no programming for on thefrequency. Thanks for suggesting WRMI.  Happy New Year,Ron :)!

Jan 10 -  WRMI (5010.0 kHz.), 1202-1230 UT, in Spanish and mostly LA pop songs; 1230+ with preaching in English
(Brother Stair); last checked at 1320 and he was still on. At my QTH, no possibility of hearing Madagascar through stronger
WRMI. Also it should be noted that Madagascar is fairly easy to ID, as it is off frequency (5009.95 kHz.).
