It's the 50th podcast--and the first anniversary--of RADIO MACONDO! Come celebrate with us, as we drop an hour of all-star, dance-floor shakin' salsa. Attending the party will be Oscar D'Leon, El Gran Combo, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Michael Stuart, Ray Barretto with a classic live set, Africando, Gloria Estefan, Roberto Torres, Irakere, Grupo Niche, and La Sonora Poncena. Every name's a super star this week--and these are some of DJ John's favorites, as we celebrate one full year of the only podcast on the Internet devoted solely and purely to salsa... RADIO MACONDO!

It's a grab-bag this week on Radio Macondo, so reach right in, grab a track or two, then grab your favorite partner. Or, grab another rum and coke, or a cigar. Cualquiera te mueve -- sacala! We've got mambo from BOTH Tito Puentes... el junior Y el senor. We got El Gran Combo, Celia Cruz with Willie Colon (yep, once again!), then Marc Anthony and Ray Sepulveda. But the grand prize is Maraca and his orchestra in a huge 10-minute jam, recorded live in France, then, for another helping, a 10-minute afro-caribbean suite from Descarga Boricua, and a Cuban classic updated by Cubanismo. It's a weekend of variedades--a veritable sancocho... on Radio Macondo.
