"Encanto Tropical" is for the salsa enthusiast -- one of several shows hosted by World Salsa Radio. The two-hour show broadcasts twice a month with the program alternating between a 'spotlight' format (2nd Thursday) and a 'party' format (4th Thursday).
2nd Thursdays:
Either a full-length spotlight on a certain theme or --commonly-- four spotlights of 3 songs each on 1) newly-unreleased salsa, 2) Latin music by Japanese artists, 3) covers of Cuban classics and 4) a guest interview and their song selection. These are preceded by an introductory mix.
4th Thursdays:
A salsa party mix with commentary featuring the best of contemporary and classic salsa.
See the Program Description for more information. All episodes are available for replay.

PROFILE
Profile
Born in Jamaica and raised in Canada to music-loving parents of Jamaican and Cuban origin, Angel Figueroa grew up in a household where music was always playing on the stereo—especially Caribbean music.
Angel started deejaying in Seoul, Korea, at the bar “Macondo” in 1996. Later, he continued as a DJ and event organizer in Osaka, Japan. He organized and deejayed at a monthly social called “Shine”, which ran for 17 years. Known for his attention to detail and for building DJ sets with eclectic and rare Latin grooves, he aspires to spin for both strict dancers and perceptive listeners.
Although Angel focuses on salsa, interests include other Latin genres, as well as afrobeat, electronica, and club jazz. As a veteran salsa DJ, he has deejayed around Japan, especially in Osaka, but is now based near Tokyo. International appearances include Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Canada, Amsterdam, and Taipei. He also works in radio as the host of "Encanto Tropical" on World Salsa Radio -- every 2nd and 4th Thursday.
