It is a mystery to me that a radio station (pirate or not) would be playing old Spanish standards and classics in La Guajira. It is a region famous, at least nowadays, for its love of Vallenato and Cumbia. This station sounds like something from the distant past.
La Guajira is primarily occupied by the Wayuu people. They do not consider their deceased ancestors to be gone. Could it be that this station is playing comfort music for their ancestors? Wayuu visit their cemeteries frequently and bring gifts of food etc. Perhaps they tune in to La Montana on their portable and play some of Grandpa's favorite music while they visit? Just a theory
