Hello all…well it’s been a while since our last post. Just wanted to assure everyone that we are still here and going strong. In fact, we have had several events around town. Whether it’s been Latin Rhythmz playing the music or helping with audio or promoting events, we have been doing what we can to bring great salsa and other music to Des Moines. We thank everyone for all the help and support. Please stay tuned for updates coming very soon.

In the meantime, don’t forget that we are still out at Keysters along with our friends at Salsa Iowa. We are also still playing at the Hotel Fort Des Moines once a month. Usually the last Friday or Saturday of every month. The next Hotel Fort Des Moines dance will be Friday, April 27th so stay tuned for more information about that as well.

So, I don’t know if you had an opportunity to catch the premios Lo Nuestro on Univision last night.  It was pretty much the usual with a few outstanding exceptions.  My favorite was probably the duo of Victor Manuelle and Don Omar.  It was very cool how they completely overlaid their two respective songs, “Al Igual Que Ayer” and “Pobre Diabla” together into one harmonious sound.  Very nice.  Then they went on to sing their current single together called “Nunca Habia Llorado Asi”.  As usual, Manuelle did not disappoint and I have to say that Don Omar for being a reggaeton singer, has now successfully teamed up with Manuelle and Gilberto Santa Rosa on, “Los Hombres Tienen La Culpa”, and done a nice job.

As you may have seen in past posts, I was torn between XM and Sirius satellite radio. Well you know what, I wound up getting Sirius, but more importantly, I got Salsa Radio

 That’s right, now I can hear songs like a remake of Esta Cobardia by the late, great Frankie Ruiz. This new project is by a group called La Nueva Combinacion and believe me when I tell you that they did the classic justice. I had to look these guys up and I found out that this is a collaborative album headed up by Angel Fernandez. The stars involved include Johnny River, Ray Sepulveda, Tito Allen, George Lamond and the singer on Esta Cobardia, sixteen year old, Luis Figueroa Roig. If you would like to find out more information on this project, the site is http://www.lanuevacombinacion.com/index-en.htm

Happy listening and please be sure to tell me what you think…
