Up next for Episode 24 is a session on salsa from the 2000s. I am sure it will provoke some nostalgic and be a lot of fun for me (and anyone else who was active in salsa in the first decade of the millennium)...
It was shortly before the start of that 'millennial decade' that I began deejaying and organizing events, so by the year year 2000 I was fully hooked as a salsa DJ. During this time I discovered so much material -- both old and new -- to play at my gigs, but it is the music released in the 2000s that has become especially nostalgic to listen to recently, as it reminds me of my golden era of deejaying. Some great memories...
In Episode 24 of Encanto Tropical, I mix about 25 songs from the years 2000-2009. These are personal favourites that became signature dance floor tunes at my social event "Shine" in Osaka and at other gigs.
For salsa lovers who started their musical journey during the 2000s, it might be especially interesting to find songs on the show that rekindle memories! For those who started salsa much later, this session could be interesting from a historical point of view.
Either way, I hope it will be a fun show of 'deep Latin vibes' in this special throwback session -- rekindling the millennial era of salsa!
