RNE 1

RNE 1 is one of the most famous online radio station on Spain. RNE 1 is a volunteer run, not for profit radio station committed to keeping the community informed on local and global issues, presenting music and information not available on other media in this area, and on creating and maintaining a positive spirit in the community.

Radio Nacional (known as RNE 1 from 1988 until 1999, and Radio 1 from 1999 until 2008) is RTVE’s principal radio station. It carries generalist programming principally focussed on news, current affairs, sport, and entertaining discussion of contemporary events and social issues. The station is the direct descendant of Radio Nacional de España, which began broadcasting in 1937 as Franco’s official radio under the department of propaganda during the Spanish Civil War.

The music of Spain has a long history and has played an important role in the development of Western music. It is also the main basis of most Latin American music. Spanish music is often associated with traditional styles such as flamenco and classical guitar. While these forms of music are common in Spain, there are many different traditional music styles and dances across its regions. For example, music from the north-west regions has ancient celtic roots and uses bagpipes. The jota is widespread in the centre and north of the country in its varying forms. Flamenco originated from and remains popular in the south. Spanish music played a notable role in the evolution of western classical music, particularly from the 15th through the early 17th century.
