Hector LaVoe
Franklin and DJ Peña at Franklyn’s CD in Jamaica Plain saw it. Didn’t really like it. Digna Gerena from Boston Latino TV was curious to see what I thought about it. Susan P. from Lynn, a regular listener of “¡Con Salsa!” was thinking of seeing it until she heard me comment that Willie Colón had written about it on his web-page and that he was somewhat upset to say the least.
Divina and I watched “El Cantante” this last Sunday evening. I can understand why the movie starring Marc Anthony as Hector LaVoe and Jennifer Lopez as his wife Nilda Georgina Roman, known as “Puchi” has stirred a hornets nest of discussion and controversy in Puerto Rico and throughout the United States. Before I dive in with my comments regarding the film, I’ll share some memories of Hector LaVoe.
Jose,
Solo quiero expresar mi agradesimiento por la alegria que tu musica trae a nuestras vidas. Cada domingo en la mañana tus viejas salsas, boleros, mambos, etc. me transportan en el tiempo. Una cancion especial me lleva nuevamente a nuestra viaja casita colonial en Bogota, Colombia, y me veo de chica bailando y gozando junto a gente amada.
La Salsa no solo me hace bailar, tambien me hace feliz y me da unas ganas de vivir de locura. Gracias miles.
Sinceramente,
Gloria Espinosa

Jose,
We just came across Con Salsa! one Sunday morning on the internet. Pure accident. I’m originally from Massachusetts, so I use WBUR as my NPR station here in Austria. Because we’re six hours ahead of you in Vienna, the timing of your show is great for us. We listen to the show over Sunday breakfast, dancing around in the kitchen eating arepas. (Well, some of us do more of the eating–I’m a Massachusetts gringo, and some of us do more of the dancing–Gloria is a Cali-born and Bogota-raised Colombiana.)
As for the salsa scene here, there are a couple of popular latin music dance clubs. Vienna does something like Boston’s First Night on New Year’s Eve, but on a much bigger scale, with tens of thousands of people in the streets of the old city, lots of stands selling food and warm wine and rum punch, and a dozen different bandstands scattered in the various plazas playing every kind of music, from waltzes to pop to Servian turbofolk. This past year we were wandering through the crowds from plaza to plaza when we stumbled on a great Cuban salsa band playing in one of the plazas. I don’t remember what they were called now, but they were fantastic. They must have been freezing, but their playing didn’t suffer, and they drew a huge crowd. In the end, everybody loves salsa.
Again, thanks for the wonderful music.
Bill and Gloria

On Sunday, August 12th, I received the following via email:
My wife and I listen to your show every Sunday morning on the Internet here in Vienna, Austria. We love it! I heard you just mention a blog and playlists, but we missed the address. We would love to be able to get the playlists. Could you send us the address?
Thanks so much for your wonderful work,
