Encanto Tropical - salsa with brass

Episode 27 will be dedicated to a friend who recently started chemotherapy. When I suggested lifting their spirits by making a mix during this challenging time, they replied "let the music make me dream". Since this person likes brass-infused salsa cuts, I knew what would be the theme of the show.

My own cancer journey was a complete success, and I am grateful for that. I can only wish the same for my friend. Join us as this person tunes in on Sept 28th and, if you can, show your support in the chat. Sharing your own cancer story is welcome, too.
