--Vinyl Love--

Check out my new vinyl mix with a Rumba Gitana (aka Rumba Flamenca) song by Terremoto De Malaga as a opener. This genre is influenced by the cuban Guaracha and partly by Rumba Cubana. Some say that these two cuban genres  on the other hand have been influenced by the Flamenco in the early 19th century. 
The mix continues then with cuban Guajira, the early Son Montuno who got developped by the legendary Arsenio Rodriguez, cuban Guaracha, powerful Mambos, Boogaloo, Guaguancos and Pachanga. To find a way towards the end the mix takes a turn towards a sweet Merengue by Ángel Viloria Y Su Conjunto and moves then to ecuatorian Olmedo Torres with it's sweet Sax melody. A pasaje genre from Venezuela follows and the mix finds it's end with a beautiful Bolero by Chiliean Lucho Gatica. 

Tracklist:

Terremoto De Malaga - Adoro
Celina Y Reutilo - Cita En El Platanal
Arsenio Rodríguez - Papa upa 
La Sonora Matancera - El Ajiaco

Vibras De Agosto (Vinyl MIX)

-------Vinyl Love------
El Melómano Alemán presents here a vinyl Mix with Salsa music only. In the beginning you can witness some examples of the heaviest Salsa period around the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s from NY and Peru. Heavy percussion solos from Bongos existed already in the early Son Montuno development in Cuba but it’s in New York where especially the Timbales found their use in the heavy Guaguanco solos and Descargas. They turned the dance floors of the NYC night clubs into hot fire places. The mix continues with more Guaguancos and passes also by the beautiful voices of Pablo Lebron,  Miguel Quintana, Chivirico Davila and Ismael “Maelo” Rivera, amongst others. Further in the Mix you can hear the style of the Salsa changing. When it found it’s way to Colombia it mixed up with existing styles and instrumentations and that's why we can hear in the song of Julian Y Su Combo for example the alto and tenor Sax which is also an instrument used in the Porro genre from the caribbean cost. Although this song in particular is also influenced by jazz as you will notice. Later you can notice the romantic touch that the Salsa gets in the music of Grupo Caneo for example which is a typical sound of colombian romantic Salsa in the late 80s and 90s. In the end the mix finds its way back to one of its origin “the Son” and the beautiful voices of the legendary Orquesta Aragon. In the very end you can listen to the really special voice of Ralfi Pagan who got murdered very young while touring with Joe Bataan in Colombia. He was specialised in Soul Ballads. 

If you liked the Mix i would be very pleased if you could leave a like and a comment in order to help me with the algorithm of SoundCoud. 

much love <3

El Show Del Melómano Alemán (December 2021 / Archive of Keith F'eM internet radio)

El MELóMANO ALEMáN presents here a Vinyl Mix fully charged with finest "Salsa" music from the time when you could find the real genre names in the LPs of the vinyl records. Im talking about Guaracha, Mambo, Son Montuno, Pachanga, Guaguanco, Cha Cha Cha and Boogaloo.
This exciting period of the latin music developed thanks to the powerful mix of cultures in New York for example, where in the time, cuban music like Mambo clashed with afro american influences like Jazz. Later talented musicians - mostly Nuyoricans (Puerto Ricans grown up in New York) used for example the cuban Son Montuno as influences for their own adaptations of their parents’ music and reacted with that new born style also to their social problems that they had to suffer from living in “El Barrio” east Harlem. 
In this mix you can hear some awesome examples of that powerful sound that shook New York and the whole Latin American music scene including Perú which delivers here a couple of great artists as well.

El Show Del Melómano Alemán (Feb. 2021 *60s Salsa* / Archive of Keith F'eM internet radio)

El Melómano Alemán" aka "Tonton Scülp" is a Berlin based music lover who is passionate about music from Latin America. It all started back in 2008 when he started to visit weekly a small urban Bar in Berlin Kreuzberg  where “Tio Chango”, a member of the former great DJ collective "La Chusma", hosted a Latin night every Thursday. Before the party started, “Tio Chango” gave classes in Salsa which changed Pascal’s life forever. His class included dancing of course, but also much more. It was important for “Tio Chango” to make his students understand the historical and cultural background of Salsa as well as to teach them some rhythmical understanding of that Clave music. During the fiestas he also introduced a lot of Cumbia and other genres of Latin America. This opened up a whole new world to Pascal and was the starting point of the development of "El Melómano Alemán". Especially the traditional Cumbia with Gaitas from Colombia caught Pascal’s attention and didn't let him go anymore ever since. 
He spent hours watching Youtube videos every day and dove into the Colombian music scene deeper and deeper. Parties from that point on only meant Latin music parties and his understanding of the culture grew more and more. 
In January 2017 Pascal decided to leave everything behind and travelled to Colombia to find the places that he had been watching now for years on Youtube. He wanted to find the birth places of the music he loved so much. The Cumbia, Bullerengue and other folkloric rhythms. 
But during the years Pascal also started developing a serious interest in Salsa music. Not only in dancing to it but also instrumentally and rhythmically. Contra rhythms is now what excites him in music. So much that normal rhythms that he has known for all his life now sound so boring that he almost stopped listening to any other music than Latin American rhythms. Colombia had such a big impact on Pascal that he almost didn't come back to Germany. He spent a lot of time experiencing music in Colombia as well as on his travels through almost the entire South American continent. 

Pascal started collecting vinyls in 2018 especially of Salsa music as it has become his main musical input during the last years. The way this music is celebrated, cultivated and conserved in Cali Colombia represents for him the paradise on earth. He started to get very interested in all the background stories of the Salsa artists and since then also developed a passion for historical stories of the genre Salsa. The Melómano Alemán keeps on developing and his collection is growing. 

Since Pascal sees in Berlin a great deficit of offers of Salsa events according to his imagination, he has started in 2020 to take the reins in his own hands and gave his first parties. Since then he has had several gigs in different locations, where he always tries to spread the Salsa culture according to his imagination. He has also created a Salsa Forum (Salsa ME UP) in collaboration with the dancer and dance teacher Jessica González IG jessi.g.dancer, where he wants to transmit more values and understanding of the culture.  On his Instagram account, he also tries to expand the salsa world of his followers with small contributions from artists who are less known to the mainstream.
