    Do all the better dancers, do it on2?

    Perhaps more accurate wording would be "the more you feel the percussion, the more you will want to dance on2". I've been analyzing this for some time now and it appears to me that on1 dancers dance more to the melody of the song; while on2 dancers dance more to the rhythm section (timbales...

    The Mule

    Recommendations to Artists and A&R Representatives My advice to artists, labels and A&R representatives is to NEVER SEND MUSIC TO RADIO STATION ADDRESSES; at least not to college radio station addresses! Why do I say this? Well, I've been on college radio for nearly 10 years now and at...

    There is no separate category for salsa in the Latin Grammys. I found their twitter account and sent them the following message: "@LatinGRAMMYs: What will it take to have a #salsa category?" I think that everyone with a twitter account should tweet them about this!

    Salsa in Chicago?

    This is a rather old thread, but I must say that I strongly disagree that "Rumba has the best dancers and best floor space". Rumba is a restaurant with an extremely small dance area. After dining hourse, they remove some tables and chairs to create more space, but it's still very small...
