Dj Koki Lizonde

PERU - ORLANDO USA

Dj Koki is one of the kindest dudes I have met. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Koki in Orlando 2014. He has a heart of gold and definately a great passion for music all around. His background stems from dance originally performing in Peruvian folkloric dances such as Marinera Nortena, Festejo, and other great dances from Peru. Not only does this guy dance folkloric however also gets down and does the Mambo with his group. Koki has developed over the years a taste for SALSA DURA and has become an addict of latin vinyl. Thankfully he has some very close mentors that steer him and guide him along the way. Koki is a new comer however definately one to watch over the years. Thank you brother for being so hospitable to me and for taking the time to make this fine mix for the site and the listeners world wide. Abrazos. Duste.

Laba Sosseh

• Laba Sosseh
• El Sonero De Africa Vol 3 "Guantanamera"
• Disques MAG
• sound clip

Out of Senegal Laba Sosseh is a legend himself and has many killer records and productions throughout his career. I love the track "yolanda" on this record. Beautiful vocals that hits the spot haunting horns and not to mention magestic montuno on the guitar by the man himself. 

Freddy Quiroz

• Freddy Quiroz
• El Exicante
• Seeco
• sound clip
• sound clip

Freddy Quiroz of Ecuador presents some raw tunes on this NYC label Seeco record. The orquesta has a unique thinned out sound comprising of perhaps a quintet or sextet. What sounds like a saxaphone or clarinet. There a several interesting tunes on this record however the 2 that stand out are the descarga "Ecuador Se Corono Campeon" and the sweet "Chinita". I like the scatting that you hear frequently especially in the "chinita". 

La Protesta

• La Protesta

• ST

• 3a Productions
• sound clip

A great example of how cadence and salsa is able to fuse in the same tune listen to the sound clip as it changes to a groove montuno about 30 seconds in to it in "cadence salsa". Love the album otherwise for listening to some cool cadence tunes. 

Los Supremos De Venezuela

• Los Supremos De Venezuela
• ST
• Sello Verde
• sound clip
• sound clip

An amazing production directly from Venezuela. Non stop killer tunes including a smashing version of "lluvia con nieve" with xylophone trimmings and heavy campanas. I love the slower guaguanco slammer "Con el swing" It does fade out however which is the only bummer. It has an amazingly charming coro which almost sounds out of tune at time but ads to the flavour. The piano solo is also fantastic in this tune. 

Genaro Y Sus Salsa All Stars

• Genaro Y Sus Salsa All Stars
• Mucha Salsa
• DCM Venezuela
• sound clip

Guaguanco mania on this raw production out of Venezuela. Many smoking tunes and hard hitting madness taking place on this record. I especially dig the tune "guaguanco blues". 

Nemours Jn Baptiste

• Nemours Jean Baptiste
• ST
• IBO
• Sound Clip

A really cool Haitian latin take on "Pancho Y Ramona". I especially like the vocals and the very cool piano breakdown.

Los Autenticos Mozambique

• Los Autenticos Mozambique
• Marcado
• Tobago Panama
• sound clip
• sound clip  

Love this record from start to finish. Simply raw rough and full of soul. Favourite tracks would be for sure "Marcado" the title track which starts of with a western theme and snare rolls & of course the killer guaguanco "dedo". Love the breaks and the deep vocals. 

Dj Duste "Reunion" original release

My first release titled "Reunion" I made this track in dedication to my family and reuniting with them after some years. Hope you enjoy it. The guitar solo is my brother "Dario Hogg" who laid the track and sent it over skype. I played all the other instruments you hear using midi triggers and my keyboard. A fun production!

You can purchase the tune if you wish via I-Tunes using the link below.

Los Diplomaticos De Haiti

• Los Diplomaticos De Haiti
• Gozando Con
• Discolor Records 4365
• Soundclip

The sweetest guaguanco "lugar solitario" from this haitian orquesta. I love how the saxaphone has this smooth warming intro and then the is always accompanying the vocals. Always a happy feeling when I hear this. It has a surprising electric guitar that comes in for a solo as well. Hope you dig the sounds as much as I did. 

Modesto Duran and Orchestra

• Modesto Duran
• Fabulous Rhythms of Modesto
• Raynote RN5006
• Soundclip

Modesto Duran from Cuba was captured alongside some greats on this fantastic recording. I especially love the tracks "wawanco" & the juicy 6/8. 

Vamonos Pa' La Salsa - PACHA-RANG-ISH Dame Un Chance

• Vamonos Pa'la Salsa

• Compilation

• Discomoda-Favedica
• sound clip

This compilation looks to be made up of 3 orquestas from the likes of "Conjunto Antonio Vasallo", "Orquesta Internacional" & "Orquesta De Carlos Guerra".

The direction of this compilation was under "Carlos Guerra".  There is a smoking version of  "dame un chance" with blazing flutes from "Antonio Vasallo" and sweetly sung vocals by "Frank Rivas". 

"Pepe Acosta", from the Carlos Guerra also sings impeccably and full of soul especially in their cover of well re-known "Lagrimas Negras". 

Overall probably one of the strongest underground compilations from Venezuela including a total of 4 Guaguancos, 3 Guarachas, 1 Charanga, 1 Son Montuno, 1 Bolero Montuno, 1 Bomba & a partridge in a pair tree.

Boko Thierry - 1000 Watts

• Boko Thierry

• PROMAKOV (ESP 001)

If this doesn't tickle you then go dive back to the grave. It is probably my favourite afro-latin jam. My wife will fight me and say its hers, but hey it can be everyones favourite perhaps. Check out the sound clip above. Comment below and let me know your thoughts. I have dropped this once on a salsa dance floor a little long, however worked beautifully late at the right time. Absolute zone head banger here. Well at least I believe so. Thoughts?
