Insomnia Radio Portugal: Episode #2

When I decided to do Insomnia Radio Portugal, I commited with Jason Evangelho and the Insomnia Radio family with doing one show every two weeks. No matter what, I would try to do it. That’s why this week I recorded the show before 8 a.m. on a Tuesday. Still, great music to listen: Ska, disco, electronic, power rock and a fantastic ballad right from the Azores islands.
