The radio show "Segunda Mano", devoted to old vinyl, audio cassettes and VHS, recently aired an episode about travelling and especially about all the kinds of musical trouvailles you can find while strolling through markets and back alley shops in foreign countries. The episode also makes a stop over in Costa Rica, where the radio hosts tell us the story of Don Walter's travelling cassettes and celebrate the calypsonian's music.
