Language used for the narrative of the show is Spanish Blurb Este show es mi homenaje a una de las compañías discográficas más importantes del mundo.

Studio One es un sello jamaicano activo desde 1954. Su influencia en la música Pop ha sido masiva. Studio One no sólo ha cambiado la forma en que se produjo la música en Jamaica, sino que también ha tenido un tremendo impacto en el mundo. Su fundador fue Clement Dodds, conocido como Sir Coxsone. Coxsone fue una figura fundamental en el negocio de la música jamaicana y un catalizador para todos los cambios que la producción de Studio One produjo. Riddim, Toasting y Dub fueron parte de los experimentos que se originaron en Studio One. Ska, Rock Steady, Dub music, Dancehall y Reggae fueron géneros de música pioneros de Studio One. Este show contiene 20 temazos.

 Balance plays El Partido – normally a Cuban based music selection once a month.

This month when I started to put this mix together with my feet tapping like crazy to this electrifying Latin music (oh I do wish I could dance) – the mix evolved into a salsa mix – if you can dance salsa I’m extremely jealous the rest of us can nod our heads, tap our feet and move in our chairs hahahah.’

Enjoy the music.
