We add a little sazón to your April showers and May flowers, toss ‘em around, and serve up a swingin’ descarga – a non-stop Salsa jam featuring classic Afro-Latin grooves spanning more than six decades – from mambo to bugalú, guaracha to cha-cha-chá, pachanga, montuno, guaguancó y más!

"Music for the Masses" invites you on an excursion of sound and rhythm. Discover the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene.
