Cristina Baccin - MusiCaldo Host
Welcome to KGLP 91.7 FM Radio Station!
As a Journalism and Social Communication scholar in Argentina and Spain, Baccin desires to share her experience with KGLP’s audience, the rich history and culture linked to “Latin Americanity” in the North, Central and South American cultures, and the surviving Indigenous cultures on our continent.
Living and teaching in the United States allows her to share her multicultural background and knowledge, communicating in Spanish, English, and Italian to a broad and diverse audience.
Since 2008, she has deepened her knowledge and community involvement in audio productions, and as a radio broadcaster on NPR-affiliated radio KUNM (2008-2021), hosting various bilingual (English-Spanish) shows such as Espejos de Aztlán (Mirrors of Aztlán), and music programs Raíces (Roots), and Corazón Tanguero (Tango Heart), featuring 175+ live or in studio interviews, concerts, and podcasts.
She occasionally hosted the Global Music show, and co-hosted Global Music Festivals live broadcasts (such as, Globalquerque! Celebration of World Music and Culture, and Santa Fe International Folk Art Market). She served as Coordinator of the public affairs weekly show Espejos de Aztlán (2013-2021), a Latino Public Affairs program that highlighted the issues that concern the Chicano/Latino community bringing the voice of people who are rarely heard with all its beauty, courage and strength.
She joined KGLP radio as a co-host of MusiCaldo in 2022 and she is delighted to bring her experiences to the show and to reach a local and global audience through KGLP.
Baccin is also a visual artist. Her paintings represent the diasporas of her life: her physical migrations and the volatile sense of belonging that dies and is reborn with each move and exploration of the new or fresh.
Her audio/visual “canvas” is essentially about womanhood.

More about MusiCaldo
MusiCaldo includes Latin-influenced music with introductions to, or the rediscovery of, familiar covers and contemporary music, reimagined and reinterpreted in the far reaching realms of Latin Jazz, Mariachi, Tango, Nuevo Flamenco, Salsa, Samba, Bossa Nova and Boleros to old school Chicano tunes that swept the United States from the 1960’s-1980’s.
In addition, classic Corridos and folk stories may be shared by the people of New Mexico and other places where music dares you to ignore it’s vibrancy and great spirit, often a blending of different styles, such as how a toe-tapping Ranchera can morph easily into the Zydeco sound, where the connection and transcendence of boundaries translates into soul- stirring rich rhythm and bridges multi cultures.
