Replay Episode 30 using the link at the bottom of this page (25 songs, 2:06:08).
The last Encanto Tropical of 2023 is a selection of salsa tunes that best represents the year for me, with my choice of tracks selected from DJ Rem's Spotify playlist Contemporary Salsa (2023 Releases), which I also contributed to, and totals over 500 songs.
It was not easy selecting 25 tracks from such a colossal number, but I managed to include a range of artists, both well-known and lesser-known ones. These tracks resonate with me and I believe deserve some recognition; however, I emphasize that my selection is merely personal and not intended as authoritative.
The 25 songs are played in random order on the show which best suit the programming of tracks. Full attribution for the artist and track title is given before and after each song.
Below is my ranking of the tracks, with composers indicated in parentheses.
It is from our Spotify playlist that I select my 10 monthly “Picks” for Encanto Tropical. Choices for any given month are limited only to tracks that have been released within four months prior.

UPDATE
With so many good songs in 2023, I decided to do a Part 2 of my favourites of the year. It features several outtakes from the playlist of Episode 30. Check out Best Salsa of 2023 - Part 2 (Episode 31).
