Az's Big Red Radio Ep75pt3 KASR VIDEO
Bobby Diablo visits Arizona's most popular ROCK radio station: 98 KUPD! Hosting is Eddie Webb and his Renegade Radio Gang! Special appearance by Larry Mac! Kasrvnotebook: Kupd although credited as being in Tempe is somehow in the middle of Guadalupe, Arizona! According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 5,258. It is known as a center of Yaqui culture and it is home to many religious festivals. The town is primarily composed of Yaqui Indians, who are notable for being one of the few Native American groups in the United States with Latino ancestry. The "Yoeme" or Yaqui are a border Native American people who originally lived in the valley of the Río Yaqui in the northern Mexican state of Sonora and throughout the Sonoran Desert region into the southwestern U.S. state of Arizona. The Yaqui call themselves "Yoeme," the Yaqui word for person ("yoemem" or "yo'emem" meaning "people"). The Yaqui call their homeland "Hiakim," from which some say the name "Yaqui" is derived. They may also describes themselves as Haiki Nation, the Haiki. Many folk etymologies exist as to how the "Yoeme" came to be known as the "Yaqui". In 1964, Yaquis received 202 acres (817,000 m²) of land from the U.S. Federal Government near Tucson, Arizona. Formal recognition of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe by the U. S. came on September 18, 1978. Yaquis have dwelt in the area of the southwestern United States since the incursions by Spanish missionaries and soldiers in the 1700s; Yaqui oral tradition is that there were small Yaqui settlements even earlier. The town of Tubac, Arizona, had Yaquis in its Spanish garrison. Several communities of Yaqui have existed in Arizona since the 1800s: Pascua Pueblo is in the northwestern part of Tucson and Hu'upa was to the south (and has since been absorbed into the Valencia and Freeway neighborhood of Tucson); Marana has had continuous settlements of Yaqui. In the late 1960s, several Yaqui, among them Anselmo Valencia and Fernando Escalante, started development of a tract of land about 8 km to the west of the old Hu'upa site, calling it New Pascua or, in Spanish, Pascua Nuevo. This settlement has a population (estimated in 2006) of about 4,000 and is the center of administration for the Tribe. Most of the middle-age population of New Pascua is trilingual in English, Spanish, and Yaqui. Many older people also speak the Yaqui language fluently, with a growing number of youth learning the Yaqui language in addition. Many Yaquis also moved further north to Tempe, Arizona, and settled in a neighborhood named after Our Lady of Guadalupe. The town incorporated in 1979 as Guadalupe, Arizona. Today, more than 44 percent of the town's ethnic makeup is still Native American, many of them trilingual in Yaqui, English and Spanish languages. There is also a small Yaqui neighborhood in south South Scottsdale, Arizona. for more info: http://www.pascuayaqui-nsn.gov or http://www.guadalupeaz.org Kasrvnotebooktrivia: Before KASR Video, Bobby Diablo worked as intern/producer for late night DJ Rob Trygg and Larry Mac is a member of the KASR DJ Alumni. We're double checking some sources but we think Eddie might have been in the Legion of Superheroes in 3069 as Biohazard-Matter-Eater Lad and Larry Mac might have been Spin-vinyl Dude. ASU Student Radio is celebrating it's 25th year being the Sun Devil's Original Alternative! For more info check out http://www.theblaze1260.com. "Don't expect a lot from this show." Was the unofficial motto of KASR VIDEO, which made a pleasant surprise when we actually knocked out a great show! The program was a weekly 2 hour public access offshoot of the Arizona State University's original alternative radio station that aired in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely seen videos and "new" music not in the "main stream." Along with non-conventional interviews it became a decent way to nurse a hangover with the midnight party crowd. These clips are edited as a sort of best of; minus the music videos.
