Pirate radio - The Boston Globe

"It slides into your car, pulsing salsa, say, or reggae. It brings news of distant lands, but there's static on the streets.

By Johnny Diaz, Globe Staff | October 16, 2005

In a corner studio overlooking bustling Blue Hill Avenue, the young woman behind the controls spins a booming tropical mix of compas, reggae, and contemporary Haitian tunes, plus a little bit of Destiny's Child and Shaggy.

''This is Radio Concorde,' she enthusiastically declares in Creole inside this tangerine-hued studio at Mattapan's WRCB-AM 1580 station. Posters of hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean adorn the walls along with a mural of a sunset over a tropical island.

The DJ's voice resonates in the hallways of this office building, sails over the airways along Blue Hill Avenue, ripples out to Gallivan Boulevard in Dorchester and floats over Grove Hall and the outskirts of Southie."
