This is provides details of the set of DJ Angel Figueroa (Encanto Tropical) for the World Salsa Radio 6th Anniversary Fundraising Event on July 18, 2026

Certain salsa songs have parts that keep dancers grooving but perk your ears up anyway. Examples are when an ecstatic piano wanders off unexpectedly or a horn line resolves in a surprising way. This is the setting for Episode 62 of Encanto Tropical, where the sonic environment of 'jazz salsa' is explored with a selection of sample songs that attempt to show the interplay of instrumental jazz solos over a salsa groove. Also featured is a talk with the artist who coined 'jazz salsa', CSAN-II.

The contents of Encanto Tropical 60 is a recording of a set on March 15, 2026, when I had the joy of guest deejaying at Isumi de Salsa.
