DJ KITO SALSA CLASICA DEC 2023

Uma mix de boleros que em sua época serviram de interlúdio pros meus discos de salsa favoritos.

001 BOLERO MIX

Eu só faço curadoria musical e mexo na minha mesa de som. Nenhuma criação é minha. Meu trabalho não é autoral nem artístico. 
Se quiser saber o nome de alguma faixa é só perguntar.

Afropop Worldwide is an internationally syndicated weekly radio series, online guide to African and world music, and an international music archive, that has introduced American listeners to the music cultures of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean since 1988. Our radio program is hosted by Georges Collinet from Cameroon, the radio series is distributed by Public Radio International to 110 stations in the U.S., via XM satellite radio, in Africa via and Europe via Radio Multikulti. 

Like pieces of a puzzle coming together, the origin stories often provide a blueprint of a legacy in the making. 

The world Peter John Lopez grew up in seemed to be put in order, at least on the surface. Born in Yauco, Puerto Rico and living in Penuelas, he fell in love early on with music via the records his brother David (aka Lagrima) was listening. Rap, R&B and the underground Latin music at the time now known as reggaeton made a solid foundation for his developing taste and culture. 

Right about then, life happened. The passing of his beloved "yayita" Eladia Castro, his grandmother that raised him when he was 15 years old made a serious impact on his life. Forced him to move around from house to house under rough circumstances and by the time he ended up in a small one bedroom apartment in Reading PA, he had already made up his mind that music was his path in life. Started putting down lyrics for songs based on reality, composing and producing music and soon enough the affection for engineering and DJ equipment was a living and breathing occupation. 

The nightclubs around Reading PA welcomed DJ P Killa (his adopted persona) in reoccurring DJ sets and since those took off, some serious collaborations with master artists like Hector El Father, Don Omar, Alexis Y Fido and many others built up his reputation to a point he landed a few jobs in leading radio stations - XMRadio, Sirus Radio, iHeart Radio and became the host of shows on Rumba 92,3FM in Reading and also 100.5FM Rumba Lancaster. 

The sense of community still drives him and is the main fuel behind his drive to provide an outlet of information and inspiration to every DJ out there - thus created La Asociacion De Los Djs (https://djpkilla.com/la-asociacion-de-los-djs/), a record pool with exclusive content for producers and DJs. 

As the pieces of the puzzle do fall in, it couldn't be complete without the most important of all, love and family. Being a father of 5 (4 daughters and his youngest son), he continuously draws inspiration and strength from the home he made with his wife Ruthy Lopez and strives to support and provide for them, so there should never be a worry in their life.
