Salsa music w/o an iPod or CD's?

ghyska — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:12:09 -0500

Yep, it's true!

Our good friend George Gardiner showed me a website a few weeks ago that I instantly was hooked by, Pandora.com. Perhaps you've heard of it or even use it, If you do then you know what i'm talking about when it comes the variety and flexibility of this site.

What you can do at this site is create your own radio station. From the moment you get to the site and enter either a favorite group or genre of music, the music instantly starts playing. Then, you the user get to take over and adjust the station to what kind of music you want to hear.

Celina Gonzalez

A few years back I stumbled across an album in the Latin bin of a used record store and it instantly became one of my favorites for dancing. I doubt a lot of a people have heard of Celina Gonzalez.... Of course neither had I at the time and I had no idea exactly who or what I was listening to - but I was immediately transfixed.

Known as the Queen of Punto Cubano or Queen of Country in her native Cuba, Celina's fantastic voice and great arrangements from Frank Fernandez and the Adalberto Alverez orchestra seemlessly blend the old sounds of guajira & son with the new sound of their descendant salsa, jazz and even a little funk.

Prabal's Cinco De Mayo Playlist

Prabal — Mon, 05 May 2008 09:34:49 -0500

I wanted to post a play list I created on the occasion of Cinco De Mayo. My play list starts out with Andy Montanez whose songs I just started listening this past week and wow is he great singer. Then I found that he was the lead singer in El Gran Combo – go figure!

In (1) Caso Fabricado, I found the trumpet and piano combination awesome.
In (2) Casi Te Envido I liked the beginning vocal solo transition into the main song – very danceable after that transition (for the shine-challenged me!).
Then the three songs from El Gran Combo are all of my the favorites from that group.

What can I say about the rest – they are all good!

Happy Cinco De Mayo to all of you!

The following is a playlist I put together of some of my favorite salsa songs. Most you've probably heard at the social or at your favorite night club. I saw a post earlier about people not knowing artist names / song names. Hopefully the playlist helps in your quest to find some salsa favorites.

Salsa Artists on National Geographic

National Geographic World Music has a great article on the emergence of salsa as a poplular music and dance with great bios and music samples from many of the most prominent musicians.

The word "salsa" is a perfect metaphor for a genre of music that emerged as a result of mixture: Cuban-based rhythms played (mainly) by Puerto Ricans in New York City! What salsa is—a sauce—helped to describe the cultural and musical make-up of New York City during the 1960s and 1970s; what it is not is a rhythm.
