Welcome to our listeners globally and Coast to Coast in the US. You are at the right URL WERB radio.com, at the right time. And you are on another program of East to West, and this is Eitan Battat. Welcome my friends and listeners to yet another program of East to West Songbook. As I sit here tonight and spin - so to speak - these chilled and global grooves have reminded me of how far I have come since the very first broadcast of East to West. Yeah, it was the end of 2020, a challenging time. The world was hit by COVID and was running wild. No vaccine in sight and uncertainty hung in the air like a fog. That's when the idea for this program was born. My partner PJ mentioned that a Nashville, NC, station that he's working with, is looking for new shows. It wasn’t a paid gig, but I jumped off the chance and after a quick interview and submitting a sample, I was over the choice of time slot. I chose Wednesday, 5:00 to 7:00 PM. And let me tell you, I was ecstatic, beyond excited. This was not about money. This was about my passion, about finding an outlet for my creative soul. And so, at the end of the summer four years ago, East to West made its initial, inaugural broadcast. Now, I'll admit the road hasn't been smooth, and I was eventually let go from that station. But that's a story for another time. What stayed consistent over all these four years is the essence of the show, exploring the rhythm and melodies of the world. Bridging cultures through music. After all, it's our universal language. The delivery has evolved. It's more refined now. More laid back and tonight's tunes reflect just that. Music to unwind, music to connect with, music to relax. That said, I’ve got some great music coming up I'm sure you're going to enjoy featuring the dynamic Dua Lipa (https://www.dualipa.com/futurenostalgia/?ref=https://www.google.com/), Barbara Streisand, Norah Jones, and many more. So, wherever you are listening from, sit back, relax. No seat belt is necessary. Enjoy the journey from East to West. Stay with me.

   East to West | World Music With Eitan Battat ft. Dean Martin (S4 | E191)

   East to West World Music Songbook with Eitan Battat (S4 | E191) Opening Music: MFSB (as always), the signature sound of East to West. WERB 107.5 music to chill and vibe with. Welcome to our listeners globally and Coast to Coast in the US. You are at the right URL WERB radio.com, at the right time. And you are on another program of East to West, and this is Eitan Battat. Welcome my friends and loyal listeners to another East to West Songbook. I've crafted a spectacular lineup for you tonight. I usually talk about kindness at the closing of the East West program. However, I got to thinking about the parallels between music and kindness, and they both are kind of universal languages. Kindness speaks to everyone regardless of language, culture, and background. And a melody or simple kind of gesture can communicate love, empathy and understanding without too many words. Both music and kindness have a ripple effect. A song can inspire many, many listeners and leave a lasting impression. And it's also can have an emotional impact, just like kindness can. Both of them can touch the heart in a very unique way. Think about it; a beautiful song remains timeless, just as a kind deed is never forgotten. Both leave a significant mark that shapes the way people feel and remember their experiences. And I'll tell you this; you know it, music has always been in the center and the heart of social movements. Yes, music has inspired change and hope. Kindness kind of works the same. One act of at a time can transform and change the world. Yeah, I think so. When you think about it, kindness is like composing a melody. And when you extend kindness, whether it is through a smile, a helping hand, or a simple act of understanding. You set something in motion. It's like music itself, a rhythm, a melody. Tonight, as we travel from East to West surrounding ourselves with sounds and stories, remember; be the first one to be kind, because if you do that, you'll never lose. Pay it forward because in the war that kindness leads, we are all winners. So for the next two hours and join me on a journey around the world with music featuring the Dapper Dean Martin (https://deanmartin.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooQEg-jZzurSQ8LHxtTXMZdvRREFhwQOu3ocGTEG8nIf0xshRL5), Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, and many more.

   East to West | World Music With Eitan Battat ft. Aretha Franklin (S4 | E190)

   East to West World Music Songbook with Eitan Battat (S4 | E190) Opening Music: MFSB (as always), the signature sound of East to West. WERB 107.5 music to chill and vibe with. Welcome to our listeners globally and Coast to Coast in the US. You are at the right URL WERB radio.com, at the right time. And you are on another program of East to West, and this is Eitan Battat. My friends and loyal listeners, it seemed that just about yesterday I was sitting here and broadcasting the last program of East to West and here I am sitting in front of my mic one more time. And as we approached this beautiful time of the year, there is something special in the air. I feel it's the spirit of giving, spirit of patience and generosity, and it feels more alive than ever. And while we often think of giving - whether it's for Christmas or the holiday of Hanukkah in terms of gifts or time - there is another kind of gift that we all have at our fingertips; it's music. Music is a gift that we share so easily with others, whether it's a song sent to a friend on Spotify, attract this covered through Shazam or YouTube; we send the song as a message or sometimes to express our feelings. And it certainly got me thinking, thinking that how music has always been about sharing. It's sort of the universal language that's from one heart to another. This week I found myself digging deep in some of my old cassettes. Yes, I used to record many of them. Each one was like opening a little time capsule full of memories and music I haven't heard in years. Songs I had almost forgotten about. I felt the urge to share them again and give them somewhat of a new life. So tonight, I'm going to press rewind, and then play. And then I'll share some of the music I have rediscovered. But not just that music; some new stuff, and of course the old stuff, and the best music in town. Join me on a journey around the world with music featuring the awe-inspiring Aretha Franklin (https://www.arethafranklin.net), Lionel Richie, Amy Winehouse, and many more. It's cold and chilled, and it's going to stay that way for the next two hours. Stay with me.
