New broadcast from Key Channel Radio

Dear friends, on the occasion of the most spectacular lunar eclipse of these years, we decided to go on air with a whole new transmission.

So much beautiful music from the world, a nice selection of Oldies USA 60. Then Artem's World Music, John Trudell Memories and much more.

There will be the debut of Mistik (Massi) who after more than twenty years of absence from the microphones has prepared two hours of live with Soul 70 music.

So many reasons to listen, we will be on the roof to admire the red moon, I like to think that our signal through mountains, cities and oceans carrying with us our little message of Brotherhood that through music we try to give and if we are lucky, we will wrap the earth with this positive energy.

I'm already excited ..
Jasmin
