NEWS
Percussionist Bobby Sanabria was recently interviewed on the WXDU radio show Azucar y Candela by DJ Sylvia Pfeiffenberger. For those of us who missed the interview, we are lucky enough to be able to download it for free through iTunes U. I can’t provide a direct link, but here’s how you get to it: Go to the iTunes store; click on the iTunes U link on the left; under “Find Education Providers,” click on Universities and Colleges; from there, choose Duke University; click on the student life link on the left; click on WXDU; lastly, click on the WXDU Interviews tab. There, you’ll find the Bobby Sanabria interview; you’ll also find Pfeiffenberger’s interviews with Pulpo, Sonny Bravo, and David Garcia. Check it out!
