"Why?" |
As I write this, I find myself reflecting on my experiences and involvement in this Latin music industry for over twenty-six years. It''s been a great ride. Back in my teenage days, when I snuck into the Cheetah on a regular basis and witnessed the Fania All-Stars making history, or when I sat on my bed playing my second-hand bongos to Manny Oquendo & Libre''s "Donna Lee/A Gozar," I never, in my wildest dreams, imagined I''d end up participating the way I have.

CD Album Review Sonido Ideal - Que Viva Sonido Ideal - October 2009 |
Sonido Ideal
Que Viva Sonido Ideal
 Charanga is a style of Latin dance music that has been fading in past years. The combination of the Violin and the Flute make this sound very unique and the tempo very smooth. There is a very small community of dancers and Latin music aficionados in the Latin community that are extremely fond of this style of Latin dance music.

CD Album Review - Artist- Jimmy Bosch / Album- A Million! |
Artist- Jimmy Bosch
Album- A Million!
 This is the fourth album from this legendary Trombonist. It is simply the bomb. I like everything about this album, there is a little something for everyone, the listener as well as the dancer. There is some dancing numbers as well as a few Latin jazz numbers, a Cha Cha and there is also a beautiful bolero sang by Jimmy Bosch himself.
