WPR Names Johnathan Borja’s ‘Vientos’ Its Music Album Of The Week

Green Bay Appleton, WI, October 14, 2026 —

Wisconsin Public Radio has named Vientos, a new album by Wisconsin flutist and University of Wisconsin-La Crosse professor Johnathan Borja, its Music Album of the Week. The album features flute music by Mexican composer Arturo Rodríguez.

The selection connects Borja’s work as a performer and professor with his stated mission to promote Latin American composers. The summary of the announcement does not provide further details about how WPR chose the album or when the selection was made.

Vientos is described as a new release, but no publication date, record label, track list or recording details were provided. The available information also does not identify other musicians involved in the album or specify which of Rodríguez’s compositions it includes.

Borja is identified as a Wisconsin flutist and a professor at UW-La Crosse. No further biographical details or information about his teaching role were included. The announcement likewise did not provide a statement from Borja, Rodríguez or WPR, so no direct quotes are available.

The recognition places an album centered on Rodríguez’s flute music in WPR’s weekly music feature. Beyond naming the album and describing its connection to Borja’s efforts to promote Latin American composers, the information provided does not outline the album’s reception, audience response or broader programming context.
