Sabroso! - Latin Music and Food Orgy

Hey Y'all,
It's Tuesday night and it's another Latin music and food orgy. Around 12am I like to break from the Latin and bring in some funk, afro beat, or just about anything with a groove. With the snow last week things got real thin and we ended up doing more talking then DJing. I started dropping album sides. Believe it or not for 2 hours we ran down: Last Poets with Purdie - (Delights of the Garden - Side One); Dance With Willie Henderson 'The Master' (Side Two); Temptations - (Solid Rock - Side One + "What It Is"); The Nite Liters (Side One) and a couple others.

Anyway, it ties into this DJing for Idiots thing. Album sides. The only way to go out and educate yourself about a group or artist. 32 contractually obligated minutes of music by a single artist or group. When I take my break on Tuesdays to eat it's almost always Ray Baretto - Head Sounds. I do change this up but people always ask "What is this?" I think the allure is the fact that it is an album side. Try it on a slow night (we all have 'em). It was fun and definitely educational for some.

On the negative side. I have been asked for "You know that great lounge tune that is in all the movies "Fried Necks and Some Fries," come on you know." ...and it was playing.

Come by for some Willie Bobo "Neckbones" or Mongo's Sofrito. It's all good!
