Sabiduria Con Tumbao Playlist 11/18/2020
This week, Sabiduria Con Tumbao gave a salute to Salsa music’s “El Diferente”..Angel Canales. Canales’s own brew of jazz infused Salsa filled with driving rhythms, sophisticated arrangements and long solos locked within swinging melodies with killer hooks. Canales had a mystique with his exotic looks and nasal sounding voice that fascinated audiences yet he achieved bigger success outside of the U.S. especially in Latin America. The Six at 6 pm focused on great all star collaborations between international Salsa and Latin Jazz musicians and Cuban vocalists.
