Radio Mambo

Perceptive, intelligent, stinging, and flat-out hilarious are just a few of the words that come to mind when listening to Culture Clash. These three social critics, writers, and dramatists (disguised as comedians) spent three months interviewing 70 or so Miami residents on subjects ranging from Hurricane Andrew to urban renewal to immigration. They then created this bright and insightful mix of vignettes, complete with music and wonderful sound effects.The members of Culture Clash have been performing together since 1984 and have clever ears for language and dialect. This is the sound of serious artists having a great time examining the world around them. B.P. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
