TERMIDOR MUSIC The finest in Latin music SALSA Vol. 1 "Salsa Vol. 1", the second double CD in this compilation series which aims to present salsa music in all its facets, comprises 32 tracks giving an overview of the most prominent salsa protagonists. From modern TIMBA (Los Van Van, Mayito Rivera, Cesar "Pupy" Pedroso with his Los que Son Son) to Son music classics (Eduardo "Tiburon" Morales, Rudy Calzado, Teresa Garcia Cartula) or the Buena Vista heirs (Luis Frank, Ecos de Siboney, Puntillita, The Next Generation). I have produced almost 2000 Latin works over a period of more than twenty-five years for Termidor Music, my own publishing company, recorded in Havana, New York, Miami, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Tokyo and even Ludwigsburg. For each compilation in the series I am going to pick out the most suitable works from this huge range. As almost all Latin genres can be gathered together under the heading of "SALSA" (people need a category), my compilations will also include pieces from jazz, son music, son cubano, timba, guaracha, bembé, changüi, chiki chaka, feelin, mambo, danzon, and the countless rhythms which for the sake of simplicity are all classified as SALSA. This time I would particularly like to highlight Luis Frank and Mayito Rivera. In 2012 the two of them spent three months touring the USA and the whole of Europe with their SONEROS DE VERDAD. They gave legendary performances which were given an enthusiastic reception by audiences everywhere. In a unique way, the SONEROS DE VERDAD combine traditional Cuban music with the modern rhythms of TIMBA. The secret of their success is that the long-time singer of Cuba's best-known timba band "Los Van Van" (Mayito Rivera) switched to Luis Frank's Soneros de Verdad. Luis Frank was a member of the Buena Vista Social Club and one of the greatest experts on traditional Cuban music. This perfect combination went through the Latin communities like an earthquake.
