Principios - Principles
El Barrio Station es una iniciativa creada con el fin de fomentar la buena música. Conscientes de la dificultad para encontrar espacios en la radio que transmitan música original interpretada por músicos, El Barrio Station aspira a convertirse en un espacio alternativo que transmita música creada e interpretada por músicos y no por expertos en comercio.
Como consecuencia del cansancio producido por el regueton, la champeta, la salsa romanticona, y la música comercial, El Barrio Station nace coyunturalmente en estos momentos de absoluta comercialidad como principal criterio para la creación musical (y absoluta comercialidad en casi todos los otros aspectos de la vida cotidiana), y se compromete a transmitir buena música sin importar su potencial comercial.
En este sentido, creemos ferviente que la música es una sola, creemos fervientemente en una sola música: la buena música. Las clasificaciones y divisiones se crearon como herramienta epistemológica y terminaron siendo herramienta del poder. Por tal razón tratamos de utilizar clasificaciones que ayuden al entendimiento de las cosas (de la música en este caso), no utilizamos clasificaciones que segreguen las mismas. De ahí mismo, El Barrios Station transmite Salsa, Música Cubana, Jazz Latino, Jazz, Blues y Música del Mundo.
Gracias por su apoyo.

El Barrio Station is an initiative that was created in order to promote good music. Conscious of how difficult it is to find spaces on the radio that broadcast original music played by musicians, El Barrio Station aspires to become an alternative space that plays music that is created and performed by musicians and not by business experts.
As a consequence of the weariness produced by commercial music like Regueton, Champeta, and Romantic Salsa, El Barrio Station is born in a moment when the main criterion for musical creation is purely commercial (as almost all aspects of daily life have been commercialized). El Barrio Station is committed to playing good music without regard to the commercial potential.
In this sense, we believe that all music is one. We also believe in one music: good music. The classifications and divisions were created as an epistemological tool which ended up being a tool of power. For this reason we try to utilize classifications to further the understanding of things (music in this case). We do not use classifications in order to segregate. Thus, El Barrio Station plays Salsa, Cuban Music, Latin Jazz, Jazz, Blues and World Music.
