The Salsa Thursdays event at Perlé Nightclub was featured on the front page of the Daily Targum on Friday, November 13th, 2009. Also, the Daily Targum featured an article about Salsa Thursdays on Tuesday, November 17th 2009 on the front page of the Metro Section. Here are the photos.

In Episode 3 of the Dany Joshua Salsa Cast, Dany J. offers a glimpse of the WRSU Radio Station studio at Rutgers University. DJ Sammy Figgs makes a crazy appearance (as usual) at the end of the video clip and he reports how Dany J. gets a write up in the Daily Targum.

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!

Special thanks go to everyone that has shown love and concern for our Thursday Salsa party in New Brunswick. I really miss it too. I miss playing my records for such a warm crowd week after week. But please be patient because better days are ahead. In the meanwhile, I want to share with you two things. First, after one year of DJ’ing, please allow me to formally introduce myself as a Salsa DJ (check my DJ bio here). Second, please direct your attention to a short video that just keeps making me laugh every time I see it. If you like it too and it makes you laugh, please friend me on facebook and drop me a message on my wall. Enjoy. – Dany J.
