Varios: Salsa en la 10ma Avenida NY'09

Issac Delgado, Tirso Duarte, Cesar "Pupy" Pedroso: It is well known, that many exceptionary artists who combine their musical heritage with contemporary tendencies are from Cuba. Today, we would like to point out three musical gems proving our point:

El "Chévere de la Salsa" is back with his second album after moving to Miami. This is a first class album: music, lyrics, arrangements and of course Delgado's characteristic voice - a great piece of work:

Issac Delgado: Así Soy

Tirso Duarte is one of the most prominent Cuban artists at the moment. He became popular with his mix of salsa and timba. Now he surprises his fans with a reggaeton album. He combines the sometimes monotonous reggaeton rhythm with great singing and a timba touch. Reggaetón a lo Cubano. Here are the audio samples:

Tirso Duarte: Para Que Nada Te Pueda Pasar

You haven't danced for a long time. You are fed up with another grey November. Don't become desperate! There is a remedy for you: The CD of the former member of Los Van Van, César "Pupy" Pedroso, is the perfect material for getting rid of dullness. Would you like to try it? There you go:

César "Pupy" Pedroso: Tranquilo Que Yo Controlo

This is a relief for the Latin scene: Oscar d'León, who - by the way inaugurated our "Danza y Movimiento" shop in Hamburg personally in 1996 and who therefore is very dear to us - has finally released a new album. And quite different to some of his previous recordings, this is a pure salsa album. Fun on the dancefloor guaranteed! A great singer and a charismatic artist is back. Listen to this:

Oscar d'León: Tranquilamente... Tranquilo

Ismael Miranda, José Alberto "El Canario", Tito Nieves, La India, Raphy Leavitt, David Pabón, Andy Montañez, Oscar d'León, Paquito Guzmán, Orquesta la Solución, Marvin Santiago, Esgar Joel & Anthony Colón, Héctor Tricoche, Willie Rosario, Tommy Olivencia, Lalo Rodríguez, Frankie Ruiz, Eddie Santiago... The series "The Greatest Salsa Ever" by Universal is definitively recommendable. From the large repertoires of some of the greatest Salsa artists the biggest successes were collected on 2 CDs each. There are CDs by the following artists:

Just log in the term "Greatest Salsa Ever" (without quotation marks!) and listen to the famous songs!

If you've always wanted to see Victor Manuelle, N'Klabe, La Organización, Jerry Rivera, Tito Rojas, Puerto Rican Power and Sonora Carruseles live on stage, but never made it to a concert, this is our recommendation for you. With this multizone-DVD you can listen to great salsa and watch the top performers at the same time!
