Episode 20 is available for replay. Check the link near the bottom of the page. April 13 was another fun show for World Salsa Radio. Our guest was the Spanish dancer Rumbera la Andaluza. It was great having her on the show. She spoke poignantly about several topics. See the pre-show post for more information about her. *Although both English and Spanish were used on the show, the guest showcase was solely in Spanish; however, here is an English transcript of the interview near the bottom of this page. Show Highlights: Introductory salsa mix: ~28:16 featuring 7 tracks by Panama Brass, Los Kenya, Orquesta Broadway, Oscar & Wladimir d'Leon, Chano Martinez, Louie Colon, and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. Spotlight 1 (New salsa releases): 28:33~ featuring Don Ruiz Orquesta, Tromboranga, and Lengaïa Salsa Brava feat Ricky Campanelli.

Replay Episode 20 Guest Showcase English transcript Feat. Rumbera la Andaluza (by Angel Figueroa) It is a pleasure to introduce to everyone the Spanish dancer known as Rumbera la Andaluza. She will answer some questions and also share a selection of three songs for us to listen to here on Encanto Tropical. Good afternoon, Angel, and hello to everyone who is listening. Thank you very much for the invitation. It is an honour and a pleasure to be here and to share some time with you. What does salsa mean to you? Well, what salsa means to me… it means happiness, friendship, health, peace, equality. In this world (of salsa) we don’t distinguish between rich and poor people or between white and black people. For me, personally, dancing salsa means to feel free and release energy without thinking. Dancing for me is like a type of meditation that allows me to be completely in the present moment. That is a wonderful explanation of what salsa means to you. And how did you start dancing? That’s a long story. It started with my father. He played the trumpet and was a passionate dancer, naturally talented — he never went to dance school. At home we always listened to music and danced. But at the same time, he was a very strict person, and he didn’t give me much freedom to do things. He didn’t allow me to go out. Well, when I was 14 or 15, I went to a ballroom dance and here in Germany at that age it is very common to go to school with all your friends and classmates and that was always a moment of freedom for me, like an escape -- a short period of time when my father could have no control over me. I started with ballroom dancing, and I liked it a lot, and I took lessons 2 or 3 times a week, but when I got serious with my studies, I no longer had that kind of free time, and neither could I pay for the private lessons that I needed in order to participate in competitions. Once, at an open-air concert, I saw people dancing salsa for the first time, and I liked it. At that time, there were hardly any opportunities to learn how to dance salsa in the town I was living in, and I have to admit that what I did find was not to my liking. Then in another concert I met a person who invited me to go with him to his school and take his lessons. And it was then that I realized that I wanted to learn this style of dancing. That was in 1994. Since then I’ve been hooked. That salsa instructor learned everything from a Puerto Rican man who at that time was based in Germany. Within a few weeks the salsa instructor became my dance partner and we had some amazing times. What has been an inspiration for you? Well at the beginning, just like other dancers, I was especially impressed by Eddie Torres. First, I saw him on video, then in congresses and salsa festivals, and finally I decided to travel to New York to see him. It was awesome. From New York, I traveled to Puerto Rico, and there I got to know some very good instructors, both male and female. I was fortunate to get to know Papito Jala Jala, a salsa legend and an amazing dancer. And I especially came to know many talented male and female dancers at social dances, and these people really inspired me. In my opinion, you can learn a lot on the dance floor no matter where you are in the world. What is a recent, memorable experience with regard to salsa? I can remember many good experiences. But the most impressive from the last few months was the CoBeatParty Marathon in Barcelona in September. This special energy of friendship, love for music and dance, and gratitude to the amazing organizers, made it a very memorable event. What is a project related to salsa that you are currently working on? Well, I do not have any personal projects. I only try to support people who invest their energy into providing for us (dancers), organizing events, and starting up radio stations, like this station. For me, World Salsa Radio is an amazing project. We can be infinitely grateful to [the founder] Felipe Martinez, for his great commitment. And your show, Encanto Tropical, is a great treat for all lovers of Afro-Latin music. Many thanks to all the DJs of World Salsa Radio. And what are some plans of yours related to salsa? Well, I really want to see certain projects grow and I can only repeat that World Salsa Radio is one of them. And I really want to meet so many wonderful people that I have come to know through salsa and especially through the group CobeatParty. I also want to ask: what future goals do you have in your salsa career? Speaking of the future, in fact, I do have an idea. In a few years, I will move to Spain and in the part where I [have a place to] live, in my opinion, there are two things missing: there are no female DJs, and there is a lack of good music. The proportion of bachata is very high. I don’t find any salsa events — of pure salsa — and I don’t find events with mambo, salsa, guaguanco, guajira, cha cha cha, or salsa dura… So I have this idea to do some networking and to join up with other women with good dance instructors, good dancers -- and above all, female DJs -- and to start our own events. And to finish, what is a message you would like to share, whether for DJs, musicians, dancers, or listeners in general? A message… Yes I have a wish… It is that on the dance floor we try to take care of ourselves and be respectful, and I would like us dancers to team up and ensure this message stays strong wherever we are: at work, in the family, and among friends. We will never find that everyone is equally nice and kind, but having tolerance and respect can make something like a wonderful haven for music and dancing away from all these wars and conflicts that we have in the world. To make music and to dance, we have to relate to each other and to prioritize unity and collective action… this produces something much more beautiful and colorful than what could ever be accomplished by a sole individual. So the message is that we should live this attitude in the world outside of the dance floor. And I would love to know what songs you have chosen for us. As for the songs I have chosen for Encanto Tropical, they are the following. The first song is called “Dos Gardenias”. This is a version by Diego El Cigala. I grew up with this song. My parents always listened to it. This version is a more modern one. The second song is "Mambo Influenciado" by Sonido Solar. I chose it because when I was young, I used to love jazz music, and this song is like a fusion of jazz and Latin American music. The third is "Quédate" by Doug Beavers and Jeremy Bosch. I chose it because World Salsa Radio is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I liked the idea of choosing a song by a group from the Bay Area. I hope you all enjoy these songs. Well, Angel, thank you very much for inviting me to talk with you on Encanto Tropical for World Salsa Radio.

Coming up is Episode 20 featuring the dancer Rumbera la Andaluza as guest. Up to now, guests on my show have been musicians, DJs, and dance instructors. This is to be expected, but I think a dancer’s perspective is great to spotlight, as well. A frequent traveler to dance events around Europe and a keen audience member of salsa radio shows and live streams, Rumbera la Andaluza embodies the same level of dedication to salsa that my past guests show, too. Tune in to hear her thoughts* and of course her selection of 3 songs in Spotlight 4 for the show! *NOTE: the interview is in Spanish, but an English transcript is provided on the highlights page. Other spotlights feature new salsa releases, songs by Japanese musicians, and cover versions of classic Cuban songs. This is all material I’m happy to research and share with listeners of the show. The show starts with a short mix of songs taken from the playlist of my recent live stream for El Parche Cucarron -- with many thanks to the organizers, especially Carlito Lopez, for having me on April 1.

What are the best salsa songs of 2022? Wow, is it that time of year already…?? Yeah!!! So tune in on Dec 22 for some answers… DJ Rem and I spent the last twelve months curating a Spotify playlist with 2022 releases — to be honest, DJ Rem did most of the work! And last week we chose our favorites to share on my show, Encanto Tropical… It was tough making our choices, and of course our list isn’t authoritative, but we agreed on 25 smoking salsa tracks released in 2022. We hope listeners think like our selection, too! Check out our Spotify playlist (with more than 400 tracks) to get an idea what we had to choose from...

A lot of credit goes to DJ Rem for his work in curating the Spotify playlist, from which we chose the best songs (all but one are from the Spotify playlist). DJ Rem and I met through CoBeatParty on Facebook, and it’s been great fun chatting together about salsa ever since; this collaboration demonstrates our mutual respect and similar tastes, so big cheers and thanks to DJ Rem, who is based in France and whom I consider one of the best salsa DJs out there!

Latest upload: an all-salsa mix recorded at my gig at "Mambongo!" special event last Saturday in Tokyo. Listen online (MixCloud) below! The live recording was edited a bit to remove all the bachata --- so it’s over three hours of non-stop salsa, with a tinge of color added to the sound quality from the pre-amp included in my DJ setup.

日本語は下記に続く Ready for replay is Episode 16 -- see the link at bottom of this page (23 tracks, 2hr 1min). Episode 16 deviates from the usual program structure (with four spotlights) and instead focuses on the theme of Latin music in Japan -- on the playlist are several songs by Japanese artists from past episodes of Encanto Tropical as well as a few I have not played before. This includes songs by foreign artists based in Japan. As a resident of Japan for more than twenty years, it has been interesting to follow the local Latin music scene and collect music, both rare and popular, which I am happy to share with listeners. The aim of this special feature is to give exposure to Japanese artists who are generally unknown internationally. There is certainly a lot of material to choose from, and my selection in no way is intended to be authoritative. In fact, I think it is important to attempt at least one more feature (Part 2) to cover several artists and bands not included in this episode (due to the time restriction). Stay tuned. リプレイのリンクはこのページの下部にあります (23 曲、2 時間 1 分) 第16話は、いつもの番組構成（4つのスポットライト）とは一味違った番組をお届けしました。日本人アーティストによるラテン音楽をテーマにしています。 プレイリストには、過去のエンカント・トロピカルのエピソードから、日本のアーティストの曲や、私が今まで聴いたことのない曲が 数曲 導入されています。また、日本を拠点に活躍する海外アーティストの楽曲も含まれています。 20年以上日本に住んでいる私は、現地のラテン音楽シーンを追いかけ、レアなものからポピュラーなものまで、リスナーに喜んで聴いてもらえるような音楽を集めることができたのは、とても興味深いことでした。 この特集は、国際的に知られるのは これからという、隠れた才能を持つ日本のアーティストに触れてもらうことを目的としています。 確かに他にも選択できる資料はたくさんありますが、今回、私の選んだものは、決して権威付けを意図したものではありません。むしろ、今回取り上げられなかったアーティストやバンドを、少なくとももう1回（part 2）で 取り上げることが重要だと考えています（時間的制約のため）ご期待くださいね。 Featured ARTiSTs & BANDS (in alphabetical order) Links included where available Aya Nakano y Central Ayumi "Azucar" Suzuki Alisa Sunaga Banderas Central Chica Boom Chuo Bomba Niconital Conjunto Mamborama Ex Corde Eto Karamushi & Orquesta Copa Salvo Ken Morimura Luis Valle & QBAmigos Orquesta Copa Salvo Orquesta de La Luz Orquesta del Sol Manny Mendez Salsa Swingoza Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra Yoshiro Hiroishi Replay Episode 16 NExt episode 17 Guest: DJ Bongohead Encanto Tropical is a part of World Salsa Radio with DJ Angel Figueroa Broadcasting from Chiba, Japan 2nd & 4th Thursdays Subscribe for email updates about Encanto Tropical Visit World Salsa Radio for more programs

Coming up on Encanto Tropical (Episode 16)... Latin Japan in focus! 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. Note The episode featuring Bongohead as guest, which was originally scheduled for Episode 16, has been rescheduled for Episode 17. Tune into World Salsa Radio for Episode 16 of Encanto Tropical with Japanese Latin music on November 24th! ***** New Broadcast time Due to the switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time, Encanto Tropical will now broadcast an hour later than previously in Japan (at 22:00).

Coming soon on Encanto Tropical... Episode 17 features DJ Bongohead as our guest! Tune in on December 8 for an exclusive interview. The prolific writer Pablo Yglesias, aka Bongohead, regularly demonstrates his vast knowledge of the history and scope of Latin music in his posts on Instagram. Also significant is his work as curator, not just in media (poster and album cover art for exhibition purposes), but also in reissued albums and compilations, most recently for VampiSoul (Munster Records). In addition, he stays busy as a regular DJ and in co-managing the record label Peace and Rhythm. Although Bongohead and I have never met in person, it has been a pleasure knowing him for a few years now. While our communication is limited to email chats, I am always humbled by his generosity in sharing his deep knowledge of the Latin music scene. It's rather impressive the many roles he assumes, so it's a pleasure to have him as a guest on Encanto Tropical! Examples of Bongohead's activities in the world of Latin music are listed below.

Instead of a 30 minute mix to open the episode, we will start almost immediately with the guest interview, since it is about 25 minutes in length -- this will be split over several parts, interspersed with relevant choices in music, such as songs from compilations that Bongohead has been involved with. In his talk, Bongohead generously provides a lot of interesting information and details! In addition -- as is the custom for the guest on Encanto Tropical -- he selects three special tracks for us to listen to.
