Coming up on Encanto Tropical (Episode 16)... Latin Japan in focus!

Encanto Tropical 16 (World Salsa Radio - DJ Angel Figueroa): Latin Music in Japan

Every episode of Encanto Tropical features 3 samples of Latin music by Japanese artists. Their inclusion in the program is due to my desire to give exposure to Japanese artists who are generally unknown internationally. As a resident of Japan, it has been interesting to follow the Latin music scene and collect music that I am happy to share with listeners. In Episode 16, we will deviate from the usual structure of the program and review several songs by Japanese artists that have been covered so far on Encanto Tropical, plus some new ones. This includes foreign artists based in Japan.
