S5 here at 2250 UTC with decidedly Caribbean music
2253 UTC Different song, sounds like a Cuban tango or samba...wish I had a nice Cuban cigar!
And next up is a little bit of Cuban jazz!
2314 UTC X-L-R-8 ID followed by a little bit of Afropop hilife music
XLR8 opens up a new era of Cuban-American relations! ;)
