What up Party People, This weeks amazing Salsa Song of the Week is called Poco a Poco by Oscar D Leon. Thank you Silvio for recommending this amazing Gem. Enjoy djmustachio.tumblr/post/65627715390/what-up-party-people-this-weeks-amazing-salsa youtube/watch?v=cUGdmeXAvYQ During the 1980s, DLeón achieved success in salsa music, becoming one of the most successful singers of Caribbean music worldwide. In 1982 he visited Cuba. His visit was a major cultural event in the island country. Since local tastes in music had veered away from the traditional sounds of Cuban music (in part because many of the major Cuban stars of the past had either passed away or were living elsewhere in exile), DLeóns retro style of music became very popular among Cubans of all ages. Meanwhile, he got tired of carrying around his double bass, and opening the case at baggage claim on the airport only to find it reduced down to toothpicks. Therefore, he gave up playing a bass onstage. He also started shaving his head regularly, as to not bother with alopecia any longer. He would, however, never shave off his trademark moustache....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_D%27Le%C3%B3n Be sure to check out our Salsa events held every Week in New York City. *TUMBAO!
