First WWW Salsa DJ Directory

April 21, 2006

By Latin Pulse Music

Chances are that the very first time you heard that new hot track was dancing to your local salsa DJ. They scour record store shelves and internet sites looking for the latest and greatest, sometimes playing songs that haven't been released yet. Contrary to what many think, DJs and live bands in the salsa community complement each other very well. In addition to working places that don't have the budget for a full band, DJs are the ones that warm up the crowd between live sets. Other times they participate as turntablists as part of the orchestra. LatinPulseMusic.com recognizes the efforts of these disc warriors that take the music to the people and keep them grooving. Sabor con clave!

    • There is a history of musical innovations being forged on the island of Cuba before finally breaking out into the wider world and making their mark on music at large. Books like those by Rebeca Mauleón have enabled more of us to participate in that process. Now, ten years after Rebeca’s last book, Kevin Moore has produced a unique and outstanding set of works which make the last twenty years of Cuban music accessible to anyone who cares to learn to play it. It remains to be seen whether the rest of the world is now ready for an injection of Cuban timba.
