Growing up in the Dominican Republic with Fania All-Stars playing all day at home must have shaped a deep connection to salsa for me. Having a father who was a true salsero and then spending 25 years as a DJ in Colorado's salsa scene creates a powerful link between dancers, culture, and music.
Salsa Brava is my favorite and has a special energy for the salsa dancers. The raw percussion, powerful trombones, street-wise lyrics, and intense improvisation from artists like:
Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Ismael Rivera, Cheo Feliciano, Pete "El Conde" RodrÃguez, Fania All-Stars.
Zafiro represents what many salseros consider the golden era of salsa. It's music with sabor, swing, and soul.
