«A cosmopolitan and open journey through the world of music» is the subtitle of the first record (and we hope that it is not the last) with music from DISCOPOLIS, the programme that José Miguel López has been directing and presenting on Radio 3, Radio National de España, since the 5th January 1987. This year is the 15th anniversary of the programme and this record, with music from a selection of artists, is being released to mark this occasion. As José Miguel López himself writes in his introduction, «Discópolis therefore became a programme of Ritmos Étnicos: everything that, based on tradition, is capable of becoming something modern, using state-of-the-art instruments and mixing them with any other type of aesthetics on a totally equal basis».

With this idea in mind, and with Spain being the strategic map and centre of operations, the journalist set off on his journey at the steering wheel of a multi-racial taxi and chose a selection of 15 numbers, some of which are truly exotic and unique, such as ´Navigation´, which is the first track on this selection and which only features Ignacio Scola, Gregorio Paniagua, Rita Marley, Hijas del Sol, Suso Sáiz, el Orfeón Donostiarra and the Ikastola de Irún Children’s Choir.

Groups, solo and instrumental artists, who are either Spanish or foreigners living in Spain, of the stature of Radio Tarifa, Manuel Imán, Susana Seivane, Tomás San Miguel, El Coro Samaniego, the Txalapartaris Oreka TX, Kepa Junquera, Justin Vali, Luís Delgado, Mareim Hassan, Itri Moraima brothers, Albert Plá with Jaleo, Kike Perdomo, Eliseo Parra, L´Ham de Foc, Rasha, Alboka and Berrogüetto. So, as José Miguel says on his programme every day, Enjoy and be!
