A mix popular dance music from Alkebulan aka Africa

Pablo Blanco aka DJ, PWhyte is a Bronx, NY resident by way of Honduras. He is a Garifuna-American entertainer who specializes in Afro-Caribbean and Latin music from Merengue to Punta to Reggae to Salsa to Zouk, Calypso and Soca among many.  A special intimate relationship with music was forged early with a musically eclectic Garinagu community.

Attending social events growing up were a big part of PWhyte’s upbringing. Most events involved dj’s.  PWhyte’s parents noticed his love for the dj culture from him hovering around the djs and constantly listening to music at home.  Having earned his dj equipment at the age of 15, through obtaining good grades at school- a Gemini dj kit was purchased. Both parents and uncles were avid vinyl  record collectors. The love affair with pursuing a dj career commenced when PWhyte would play records for family members and see the excitement in their faces when he would display his cross genre mixing skills. 

Being raised in a musically eclectic home environment, all genres of music were played; including funk, garifuna, jazz, blues, reggae, hip hop, and ballads. High school afternoons were spent focusing on the skill of mixing all the different  genres. Throughout the years the vinyl collection amassed to an excess of 25,000 records.
