Folge vom 31.03.2009Radio Macondo 91 Pure Salsa both Classic and NewIt's an hour of "mostly classics" on RADIO MACONDO, starting with a set of true salsa treasures: Ray Barretto in a track from the 1987 album "Aqui Se Puede," then The Lebron Brothers with the original "Salsa y Control." Next up it's Cheo Feliciano, "Mapeye," and Celia Cruz with one of her last recordings, from 2001. We continue in the classic mode with two examples of son montuno from Cuba, then we hit the dance floor with yet another authentic mambo from Tito Puente. Other classics include Cortijo y Su Combo with Ismael Rivera from 1963, Colon and Lavoe with "El Malo" from 1968, Henry Fiol from 1983. We close with a set of contemporary hits from Tito Rojas, Eddie Torres with Jimmy Sabater, and Pocho Perez's Orchestra from Colombia.

Folge vom 24.03.2009Radio Macondo 90 Pure Salsa both Classic and NewSummer temperatures are here, and RADIO MACONDO has some scorching salsa from the likes of Luisito Rosario, Albita, and Bobby Valentin. But we don't want TOO much heat, so we cool things down with a Latin jazz number from Ray Barretto, followed by a nice, groovy son-salsa from Celia Cruz. El Gran Combo pays its classic tribute to summer in New York, and Tipica 73 to traditional Cuban son. And we wrap up this ode to summer with four contemporary hits: Los Titanes, Domingo Quinones, Van Lester, and Luis Damon.

Folge vom 19.03.2009Radio Macondo 89 Pure Salsa both Classic and NewHeadin' down to Cali! That's our itinerary for this week... at least for a few minutes... We start with Orquesta Guayacan (photo at right) and Sonora Carruseles, two of the biggest bands from Colombia. Then we zip up to San Francisco for some cutting-edge salsa-jazz from Orquesta Gitana and Francisco Guayabal. We throw in another Tito Puente essential before hearing still another classic from Eddie Palmieri, and a modern hit in the classic mode from Bobby Valentin. Then, a great set of contemporary salsa romantica from the studios of New York, with Jose Alberto, George Lamond, Frankie Negron, and Jerry Rivera. No seatbelt reqired, but you'd better keep your dance shoes firmly tied. Radio Macondo is your guide once more for a grand tour of Salsa-merica!
