We like to think to think of ourselves as a contributor to "global warming"... seems like every week just gets hotter around here. This week, we spread even more hot rhythms around the globe with these artists: Jose Alberto, Rikoson All Stars, Ruben Blades, Ismael Miranda, Willy Chirino and Celia Cruz, Oscar D'Leon, Tito Rojas, Quinto Mayor, Juan Luis Guerra, Joe King, El Gran Combo, and for the finale, Tito Puente. No worries, though. This kind of heat will make even the polar bears happy

Folge vom 31.03.2007RADIO MACONDO Podcast 64This week, we light that salsa fire with two dance favorites from Celia Cruz and DLG. Then, some swinging, hot Cuban salsa from Descarga Boricua, Adalberto Alvarez, and La Gran Banda de Venezuela. Next, we cool things off with a few guajiras--mid-to-low tempo, great for new dancers--featuring Chocolate Armenteros, Africando, and Sonora Dinamita with their particularly Colombian style. Ruben Blades leads the final set, followed by some salsa pop from Jerry Rivera and Chayanne. It's one of the s

Well, he heaped on 11 scoops of high-energy, big-hit salsa, fine Colombian grade, including Roberto Blades,Yolanda Rayo, Grupo Niche, Orquesta El Equipo, and Colombia All-stars. And just as we were about get a cup, the pot exploded with Tito Puente and La Lupe, followed by Orquesta Gitana. Then, we were finally able to kick back and savor the aroma with some son cubano from Septeto Matamoros and Adalberto Alvarez. And of course, no coffee break would be complete without a generous helping of ... Azuca'!... from the Queen herself, Celia Cruz. And for that extra shot of espresso, we finish with hit mambo-salsa from Cubanismo. We figure that's the equivalent of 33 cups of coffee for every single

And this week on Radio Macondo, we're playing salsa to fit the season, with a great mix of hot stuff to warm you up and cool stuff to help you relax and take in those gentle spring breezes. First, the hot salsa, and we mean fiery: Joe Arroyo with one of his best-known numbers; Kent Gomez with a salsa/boogaloo/jazz fusion from the '70s; and La Sonora Carruseles once again, this time featuring sultry Cubana Raquel Zazoya on vocals. Then, we relax a bit, with mid-tempo bomba-salsa from Ruben Blades and Willie Colon; Willy Chirino, and Peru's own Melcochita. Turning down the heat quite a bit now, it's Victor Manuelle, Ray Sepulveda, La Fuga, and Pedro Conga in a great set of Salsas Romanticas. But, wait, it is nearly spring, after all, so we've got to celebrate with one last, blistering number from Edwin Bonilla (don't dare miss that one!)
