When you tune in to Radio Zapatisto Harlem you’ll hear a spicy stew of music inspired by the streets of Upper Manhattan and the travels of DJ Edgar Bumpers. Playlists feature hip hop, boogaloo, straight-up rock and roll, salsa, cumbia, black metal, punk rock, electrofunkatastidelic psycho blasters and the occasional thing you’ve heard before. Over 200 listeners have added RZH as a favorite since going on the air in 2006.
RZH is not just a place where the DJ dumps playlists once every six months. Hundreds of hours of listening, gathering new and unknown music, traveling and seeing live shows inspire every rotation.
Just as Upper Manhattan is a fulcrum of migrating people and sounds, geography is the fulcrum of the RZH sound. You'll enjoy polyglot psychedelic sounds in every rotation -- it's the connective tissue between the essential and classic soul, hip-hop and salsa tracks that dominate the streets of Harlem.
Tune in, close your eyes and take a trip with DJ Edgar Bumpers. If you like what you hear, share it with your friends.
