My friend, Pam Torno, Oakland based DJ and vinyl enthusiast, stops by W!C!P! and sets fire to the joint with her electrifying records. From the street-wise soul classic sounds of Joe Bataan and Sugar Pie DeSanto to the overlooked rocking combo madness of Dakíla (the “Filipino Santana”), to the even more overlooked sub-SUB genres of “cruise rock” and the Manila sound! Tune in.
