There are these drives along the coast \u2014 somewhere between Altea and Moraira \u2014 where the road rolls just right, the sky is impossibly blue, and the mountains have that unmistakably Californian feel\u2026 and suddenly you think: wait a minute\u2026 isn\u2019t this starting to feel a bit like the American West Coast?<\/i><\/p>\n
Exactly that feeling sparked the idea for our new musical tradition: Y<\/em>acht Rock<\/em> on Costa Blanca Radio<\/span>.<\/p>\n The smooth and sophisticated sound of the late \u201970s and early \u201980s. Think Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, Toto, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross\u2026 Timeless studio perfectionists who mastered the art of refined harmonies, jazzy chords, laid-back grooves, and a touch of melancholy. <\/p>\n From now on, you\u2019ll hear a Yacht Rock<\/em> gem every weekday on Costa Blanca Radio<\/em>, just before 12:30<\/span>. Not just any golden oldie, but a carefully selected track from this unique genre. Always the final song before the news headlines \u2014 a small musical siesta, shimmering gently like sunlight on the water. <\/p>\n Sometimes you recognize it instantly. Sometimes it catches you off guard. But it always feels\u2026 just right. Why? Because we believe radio can be more than just hit machines. That atmosphere, taste and subtlety matter. And because there\u2019s hardly any music that fits coastal life quite like this. <\/p>\n And yes, we\u2019re looking ahead too. Because Yacht Rock<\/em> is alive and well. In the hands of artists like Young Gun Silver Fox<\/i>, Mayer Hawthorne<\/i>, Tame Impala<\/i> or even Vulfpeck<\/i>, the genre is getting a fresh twist. Modern production, same silky vibes. We blend it effortlessly\u2014because vibe knows no decade. <\/p>\n Costa Blanca Radio \/\/ Yacht Rock Special There are these drives along the coast \u2014 somewhere between Altea and Moraira \u2014 where the road rolls just right, the sky is impossibly blue, and the mountains have that unmistakably Californian feel\u2026 and suddenly you think: wait a minute\u2026 isn\u2019t this starting to feel a bit like the American ...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13350,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[831],"tags":[2148,2152,2157,1259,2154,2149,2158,2156,2155,2147,2150,2151,2146,2153],"class_list":["post-13371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-en","tag-80s-music","tag-christopher-cross-en","tag-classic-hits-en","tag-costa-blanca-radio-en","tag-mayer-hawthorne-en","tag-michael-mcdonald-en","tag-musical-siesta","tag-radio-traditions","tag-smooth-music-en","tag-soft-rock-en","tag-steely-dan-en","tag-toto-en","tag-yacht-rock-en","tag-young-gun-silver-fox-en"],"yoast_head":"\nA daily Yacht Rock gem on Costa Blanca Radio<\/h4>\n
