1967–1974 | 7-INCH VINYLS SALSA SHOW
Uptempo latin soul is salsa. Arsenio Rodriguez died in Los Angeles in December 1970. At this time the legend of afro-cuban uptempo music was almost forgotten. Rhumba, samba, mambo, cha-cha-cha, pachanga – the days of dancing enthusiasm and ballroom glamor seem to be history. But in the mid of the 1960s new record labels entered the stage with a new sound and concept of urban latin music. For the next two hours you will be listening to some of my 7-inch vinyls from 1967–1974. Uptempo boogaloo meets guaguanco. Arsenio’s hard driving cuban montunos and puerto rican rhythm patterns are back in funky urban shape. All time favourites and rare tunes out of my record collection aired in my radio show ICH BIN EIN GANZ NORMALER TAG, Sunday, April 19, 2015 on ORANGE 94.0 (part 1) and May 3, 2015 (part 2)
