Today, we dig into our archives for some music. First, we revisit key moments in the more than 60 years since Cambridge's Club Passim became a hub of folk music.

Second, we listen to a conversation with Berklee professor and Americana artist Susan Cattaneo about the time she started a female-fronted residence at Union Tavern in Somerville.

Then, we explore the fusion of folk and classical music with the Rasa String Quartet and lastly, marking 100 years of The Mambo Kings, we sit down with José Massó, host of WBUR's "Con Salsa!" , and Grammy Award-winning percussionist Eguie Castrillo.

This segment aired on September 5, 2023. The audio for this segment is not available.
