Saturday, June 13th, 2026, Richie Bertrán and I, Vicki Solá presented our favorite show of the year, our Annual Tribute to our beloved Puerto Rico, and the National Puerto Rican Day Parade, which takes place in New York City the following day. Bertrán is a longtime friend and member of our Que Viva La Música family, and also my Mundo Salsa Radio colleague ("Echando Palante," Wednesday afternoons, 12 noon to 1:30 pm.)

Celebrated Latin music radio program Que Viva La Música, created decades ago by Vicki Solá, now streams worldwide direct from the NYC-metro area on Mundo Salsa Radio (mundosalsaradio.com) Saturday afternoons from 1-6 pm (ET). Listen from any mobile device, computer, or tablet as we bring you the Salsa, Latin Jazz, and Charanga of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
