Dj El Guapo.
Everything began within the south of France after i resided there and went to a health club.
A Brazilian guy began teaching Merengue there and due to an attractive youthful lady insisting to participate in I made the decision to simply get it done, however it continued to be at this one initiation. After much insistence he convinced me to visit a Salsa party in Marseille which only agreed to be things i must be convinced.
From on that day salsa has not been from my existence for just one day. I visited to bop every day at different parties and various locations. I had been just addicted.
Things I found wonderful was the range of people every color and races danced there with one another, ugly or beautiful, thick or thin, wealthy or poor. that simply didn't exist, the only real factor that mattered was the most popular desire for music and dancing.
Soon I saw an initial live show by Yuri Buenaventura that we i admired in those days. But nonetheless. it had been just at hearing certain songs from Los Van Van as "Soy Todo" and "Ya Empezo La Fiesta," Ng La Banda with "Santa Palabra" but additionally "Charangueate° by La Charanga Habanera that my bloodstream began to tingle.
The albums of those three groups using these songs were my first purchases. These were switched flat also it was impossible to sit down still. Eventually I came back to Belgium where I given my further microbe using the Salsa virus. At first, I still took in to different types of salsa music, for example Colombian or Puerto Rican, but Cuban but stored obtaining the upper hands.
In 2001 I began my very own school "SALSA CUBANA" and started teaching Cuban style and get it done even today still. During many years I have develop a career where I have given shows and workshops in the major Salsa Congresses and Festivals throughout Europe.
Things I observed was there had been predominantly NY style and LA-style to appear and heard, however the Cuban style was hardly there.
Even though it is there it all began, in Cuba. "Crime CUBA NO HAY NADA° That°s what motivated me to complete all I possibly could to attract the interest to pure Cuban music and dance.
About ten years ago I additionally began to arrange parties and it was amazed through the pleasure I experienced from people dancing around the music I performed on their behalf. My collection was still being fairly modest, but nonetheless I'd already added a couple of names for example Manolito y Su Trabuco, Manolin El M°dico en Salsa, Issac Delgado, Adalberto Alvarez, Bamboleo and Azucar Negra using their blissful song "Tres De Az°car y Dos The Caf° ".
For me personally, the selection was very obvious: only Cuban and particularly Timba. Although I had been still requested to experience mixed music at various salsa nights, it was nevertheless unwillingly. I possibly could 't be myself. I Then required the plunge and made the decision to experience solely Cuban music . And also the ball has began moving. Exactly what a pleasure for any DJ to determine each one of these people dancing, laughing as well as sing along towards the tunes which i performed on their behalf. How much of an recognition. Which I believe may be the best reason behind a DJ to experience. seeing the folks have a great time and also the possible ways to bring this contagious passion about.
Now i'm searching for that latest CD°s on the daily bases of both existing and new artists. And there are plenty. The great factor concerning the Cuban music is the fact that there's such all kinds. Any group or artist has their own style, their own "groove", their own instruments, their own "seem", quite simply, you simply can°t get enough.
The different concerts I've attended for example Los Van Van, Manolito y Su Trabuco, Alexander Abreu Y Havana D'Primera, La Charanga Habanera, Maykel Blanco y Su Salsa Mayor, Cesar Pedroso, Haila Mompie, Azucar Negra, Los Conquistadores En Salsa as well as Maybe always bring me much deeper and much deeper in to the Timba-world and motivate me over and over to operate on my small music, so you simply to hear the very best of what's available on the market.
