Welcome! Thank you for checking out this blog, which at the current moment is serving a dual purpose. Its initial focus was primarily music. A portal for my internet show on WKCRonline.com, which featured neo-soul, house, rare grooves, afrobeat and other assorted gems. If you check the archive, you will see the playlists of the many shows I had done in 2008. In 2009 it has become a headquarters not only for my music interests, but also for another project about my life as a person who has been laid off and the experiences I am going through job searching. You can read "my laid off life" stories here also. With that said, This weeks music feature is in respect to one of my favorite genres, Latin Funk! This show is going to feature a host of tunes that really burn! From the barrios of Spanish Harlem to the scenic shores of Brazil to the cultural epicenters of Puerto Rico and Cuba, Latino artists have taken the soul and funk of Black American soul music and infused it the the native rhythms and ideas from their own lands and come up with a music so hot when it's played, that I swear you can smell the grooves pulsating from the speakers! MAN! This first installment is going to include some of the most dynamic and fantastic grooves ever laid down! Funk, Soul, Salsa! Enjoy this first installment of Super Latin Funk and don't forget to check out the AfroBeat show and the house mix. Come back next week for more of "my laid off life" and more music!
