Did you know that Ruben Blades is going to re-record a lot of his Fania material? If you would like to find out interesting things like this, follow me on Twitter or friend me on facebook. Twitter.com/danyjoshua or facebook.com/danyjoshua

I would like to share with you a show that I have been following for the last few months, “El Show de Ruben Blades”. Ruben Blades is a Salsa artist that I would like to meet, and after watching 27 shows, I feel that I almost know him. Here are some quotes that I liked and a link the show.

“Rock is young music, it is youth oriented. It just speaks for a generation.” – Ruben Blades.

Ruben Blades explica, “Quiero ese disco, el disco con Cheo, que tengo que terminar y ya lo voy a terminar lo mas pronto possible. Estoy regrabando todas mis cosas. Ya Walter Flores termino. Y ahora tengo que ponerle la voz a todos los discos que hize con el periodo de la Fania y toda es question, lo estoy regrabando todo para que cuando yo me muera pueda dejarle todo eso a mi familia porque los discos no son ni mios. Los discos son de la compan~ia, no mios. Este es el unico negocio del mundo donde la compan~ia de discos te de la plata para que hagas el disco, y te la cobra de tus regalias y no te dan un centavo hasta que la compan~ia de discos no recobre lo que invirtio. Y despues que lo recobra, tadavia el disco es de ellos. Es como si tu tuvieras una casa y a usted le da un prestamo el banco. Y usted paga y paga y paga, y cuando termine de pagar la casa, la casa todavia es del banco. So, que es eso hombre! Eso que es! Eso no se accepta en ningun lugar. Asi explotan a los musicos!”

Politics of Rhythm

Sorry for the long hiatus. It has been a while since I have written or made posts in this website about Salsa in general. But please tune in every couple of days because I will post some interesting videos or articles. Let’s get back into the swing of things with this video.

“Politics of Rhythm is a chronicle of the Salsa Movement, brought to life through the accounts of numerous Salsa Players, whose experiences and knowledge provide a rich tapestry of culture and politics. ”

Feat. Willie Colon Papo Lucca, Oscar De Leon, Eddie Palmieri, Larry Harlow, Ruben Blades, Cheo Feliciano… just to name a few Salsa musicians. And let’s not even talk about the dancers!
