Aguapanela con Limón

Eddie Palmieri kicks off this week's set with the funky "Vamos Pal Monte" - perhaps one of his most classic tunes. Next, you have Lisandro Meza's "Entre Rejas" - this is the song that makes me wish I played the accordean!

Be on the lookout for Fruko's "Sabré Olvidarte." I never paid much attention to this one before, but it is definitely a treat.

I hope you enjoy the overall selection. Tune in next week - I got some fun tracks already picked out. Sorry to have to make you wait =(

Peace!

No sitting, no 'playin the wall', none of this 'I don't dance" paja - this is some get sweaty, get movin', get with it or get out type of chit - no joke. Asi que, get the 'firewater' ready because this is salsa de la buena - pa' que sepan

We got some hardcore classics here - The Latin Brothers have two spots on this weeks selection. They are a very successful Colombian group organized by Julio Ernesto Estrada, who we know better as Fruko. Las Caleñas son Como las Flores has Piper Pimienta Diaz on vocals and Patrona de los Reclusos features Joe Arroyo.

Hector Lavoe's El Todopoderoso is by far my favorite 'gospel' song. If they played this at church, I'd be there every Sunday - en serio!

And then we have El Preso. Wowsers, talk about a power song - this one never fails to get everyone on the dance floor. If I'm at a party with my sister, it doesn't matter what I'm doing, when this song comes on, I put down my drink, empanada, or whatever and I look for my hermanita on the dancefloor. This one is for you flaca!
