Starting in a few days, we'll have a new daily slot which will progressively include various original programs devoted to flamenco, current trends, interviews, specific topics, record of the week, festivals, some live broadcasts.

Updated content
DeFlamenco.com is in charge of the programming and selection of musical content of Radio4G DeFlamenco. This will be updated monthly in a percentage of approximately 20%. The News section will be updated more frequently, depending on circumstances, new recordings that come to us and our own criteria of selection.
The music is the most important thing on a music radio station, in our case, flamenco, but we want to make it something more, a new window on flamenco promotion is our objective.
