Can't believe I missed the first set, already loving this

Cuban beats to cheer up your morning!

I told you, TAndy, always be listening

This station NEEDS a proper LatAm music show like it used to waaay back years ago. The only good block I can get around here is El Viaje on WRTI

Good morning, Sir.

@ DJ MP Noob (host) Thank you! Definitely cheering up this still-smokey-skies Saturday in the Princeton area.

@ TAndy YES to "This station NEEDS a proper LatAm music show like it used to waaay back years ago." I'll also remind everyone, sadly, that WPRB has also lost its Blues and its Reggae/Ska shows, both outstanding. :-((

I imagine that SBW-III will be back again at some point? I at least think I remember him mentioning that during one if his most recent shows. Though DJ Ringworm has proven capable of filling that Blue hole in our hearts.

Good morning, Richard!

Yes, that is the unfortunate transient nature of community radio. DJs come and go.

I'm crying when ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ is replaced by David The Normal

OH SHIT, this was the #1 song my uncle's band would play at their gigs

@ DJ MP Noob (host) I just gotta tell you, I am totally knocked out by the chord progression in Willie Colón's "Tiempo Pa' Matar" and by the entire arrangement and performance. Aiyiyi! Brilliant! Inspires me to get my salsa dancing shoes back on ...

YES. I love the bass intro but the whole song brings together the orchestra in a very satisfying way. Willie Colon is probably my favorite salsa composer. His career is legendary, both of because of what he did with Hector Lavoe and Ruben Blades, but I feel like the stuff that he did on his own later own is sometimes overlooked

@ DJ MP Noob (host) Thanks for that further info and perspective, much appreciated.

Nice radio voice 😎

Thanks! I am told via private message that it may have sounded unnecessarily seductive so apologies for that haha

Nice.

@ DJ MP Noob (host) In answer to your on-mic query, yes, I'd very much enjoy a show highlighting the connections between Brazilian and salsa musics. As I think about it, I wouldn't be suprised to hear examples of Sergio Mendes, João & Astrud Gilberto, et al, making forays into salsa.

Thanks Richard. I'd like to do some more research into it. I think there are few examples of Brazilian composers straight up doing salsa, but certainly doing things that are musically close to it. And I think the influences go both ways, there is often salsa singers that are covering bossa songs. And there is the political background as well: when Ruben Blades started to make political salsa he was looking to the history of tropicalistas in Brazil. Hoping to prepare a show on it in the Fall!

I'll be looking forward to that eventual show, and thank you very much for the music this morning! Wonderful start to the weekend.

Sorry just missed your call!

Great show. Thank you.

YES! "Nada Será Como Antes" by Milton Nascimento surely sounds like bossa nova-salsa to me ...!

thanks for listening folks!
