115 - Michael Spiro, Mike Mixtacki, and Joe Galvin

Joining us this week are the creators of the cd BAKINI: En el Nuevo Mundo: Michael Spiro, Mike Mixtacki, and Joe Galvin.  Mixtacki provides some vocals for the album, while Spiro and Galvin play on every track.

There's much to say about their expertise and what we learned chatting with them - so much that we needed two complete episodes to share it with you! Here's part 1. Part 2 coming next week.
