COOKING W/ PALMS TRAX

Producer and DJ Jay Donaldson, also known as Palms Trax, brings his selections to NTS' Channel 1 for a two-hour session every other month.

If you ever need some creative inspiration, take a look at some videos of Timbaland in the studio in his prime, around the early to mid-2000s. You'll see Timbo smiling knowingly as he plays new material to some of the biggest rap & R&B stars of all time, all of whom appear to display a similar range of emotions – confusion, astonishment, befuddled laughter. This is testament to the Virginia producer's utterly genre shifting approach to the rhythm and texture of beat-making. No one sounded like him before, and the many who have imitated rarely reach his level. This In Focus is selected by Antonine Scali.

Corrido

A product of a tough & violent childhood in rural Mexico, Chilano Sanchez spent his young adulthood in a string of semi-legitimate and outright illegal lines of work, including smuggling people and drugs across the US / Mexico border. Around the same time Sanchez was sent to prison, his brother Armando was shot and killed. He wrote his first "corrido"—an emotional form of Spanish ballad—as a dedication to him. He continued writing at the request of fellow inmates, even following his release from prison. Eventually Sanchez was persuaded to start singing and performing his ballads, and became a cult artist in Mexico.

This hour long In Focus, is an emotional trip through Chalino Sanchez' heartfelt corridos. Compiled by Samuel Strang.
