The hottest hour of music on the Internet! A weekly showcase of Salsa and Cuban Son. HOT, as in Picante!
 
You've found the only podcast on the Internet with a full hour of hot, classic-edged salsa, spiced with a touch of Cuban son. That's RADIO MACONDO.

Back for a another cup of the Macondo Blend? Each week, we serve it up hot, in a brew of new and classic together. It simmers, it boils, and sometimes it steeps, smooth and mellow. This week's artists, in the order we drop them into the pot: First, the hot set, with Sonora Carruseles, cuz we know how much you like that; Yolanda Rayo; Frankie Ruiz; Salsa Fever; and Victor Manuelle. Then, the classic set, with Louie Ramirez ; Hector Lavoe; and two from Willie Colon in collaborations with Ruben Blades and Celia Cruz. Then, for that double shot of Cuban, Los Van Van and Son de Aca.

    Hello DJ John...Thank you so much for feeding our salsa souls! Great selection you have...I live in Portland, Oregon USA and learned about your podcast through a colleague and friend (Anton) who lives in Hawaii (Greetings to him!)...I think salsa is what keeps us motivated at work and ofter a way to find new solutions to problems...keep the good energy and I look forward the next podcast. Also please play some more Oscar D'Leon (I'm from Venezuela:-) Un abrazo desde Portland. Bautista Reinoso

    Dear DJ-John, this is great podcast! Please keep up the good work. I really enjoy your selections, especially the classics from wherever they come. It's also nice to hear such good bands from Colombia, some of which I didn't know about even though that I'm from Macondoland. Un cordial saludo desde Davis, California. --Carlos Rueda

    I hope there's a trivial reason why there's a hiatus in publishing new episode of my favorite Salsa podcast.

    I'm anxiously awaiting the next hour of hot Salsa and the precious information along of it.

    - David.
