Hurban
n.— «A decade ago, Boston didn’t have the audience for a single large Spanish-language station much less two. Now whether your style is romantic or the Hispanic urban sound known as Hurban(ph), whether your favorite Iglesias is velvet-voiced Julio or his son Enrique, there’s a station for you.» —“Morning Edition; Profile: Spanish-language radio stations growing in number and in audience size” NPR June 26, 2000.
