This is the 2nd show which originated the name of GLOBETROTTING FOR EUROSHOWTIME to Popmundial !

It was the first solo show of 7 (8 including the opening show "presenting Dana", the original Maria Magdalena of Andrew Lloyd Webber´s concept version of "Jesus Christ Superstar"):

presented by Dana Gillespie

recorded at Vienna Sound Studios, Vienna, Summer 2000
UNRELEASED, never broadcasted ! Slightly re-edited in 2021

This show was recorded for Popmundial´s early businesses of Euroshowtime and Radio Baden FM.

presented by
SUPERSTAR DANA GILLESPIE

the original first ever "Maria Magdalena" in Andrew Lloyd Webber´s musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 1972/73, a singer-songwriter

Producer´s Note:
Popmundial was called Euroshowtime at that time and got funding by the Bavarian State and the European Council. It was a time where we were negotiating a take-over of ORF´s "Blue Danube Radio", an English spoken FM radio in that region. But we failed at the GEMA and went to London afterwards. Shortly we run "Radio Baden, Vienna", but had all administrative problems, you can imagine !

It was recorded as EUROSHOWTIME

There are very few episodes left recorded. 

We started Let`s Dance in 1984 (-!-) as a public event, only.
A Tea Dance Event:
produced and presented by me, Yours the producer Joe.

Untill the year 2000 we were live.
We did it in Erlangen, first, Nuremburg, London, Vienna, and than radio:

For Radio it is difficult to translate the demands of strictly dancers to the demands of listeners only. But we´vew found a solution in our unique mix. Hand-selected  !

From the first days we tried to mix pop with strict rhythms ! We were invited to many professional and amateur championats to do "our" dance music ! We didn´t play Hugo Strasser or Tony Evans 24/7 but included original tracks and sounds like those of Enya, Dean Martin,  and Sting ! Sometimes we had to re-edit (remix) the tracks in order to fullfill the bpm standards for compitions.

AND WE LOVE TO LEAVE OUR AUDIENCE GUESSING WHICH DANCE IS THIS .... !

In 2009, when we started Popmundial Radio,  it was a show of the "first days", later  on Radio 2, Pop2 Sounds / Soundsmundial

Now in late 2020 it will move to Popmundial Special

Still on Sundays 16 to 18h Paris !

Let´s Dance !

By the way: "Let´s Dance is not the title of a tv show, but the signiture (opening number) of Benny Goodman, one of the stars of the Swing Era, which we use here in a version reorded at Carnegie Hall, 1978, on its 40th anniversary of Benny´s first appearance there: it was the EVER FIRST CONCERT which brought together black and white artists in front of an white audience. 1938 ! 

LETS DANCE !

This is the complete  episode, recoreded live, NOT PRESENTED !

PS: we have a library of approx 15ooo tracks of strice  music to dance to, also pop tracks !

New weekly episodes:  POPMUNDIAL SPECIAL
Sundays 4pm - 6pm Berlin / 10am - 12 ET
