"Dancing on the fire with your love desire. I want your love I WANT YOUR
LOVE...". Ah those Free Style days... Dance music with that
Nuyorican/Salsa Edge.
A lot of the former Free Style Divas/Divos(?) went Salsa such as Nayobe,
Brenda K. Star and Mark Anthony.

Subject: Re: Snowboy
Having seen Snowboy live in Australia about 18 months ago, I must admit I
found it to be very boring. I love salsa and its 3 million variants and I
felt that Snowboy didn't do the music justice. One song melded into the
other, almost like a 'Modern Romance' medley.
I have just started working in a record store featuring a strong Latin
section and I listened to an album by India with Eddie Palmieri recorded
in the last couple of years which was absolutely brilliant. India, Lous
Vegas's partner, wails like a modern day Celia Cruz and the musical
arrangements are latin and jazzy and display Palmieri's understated piano
to great effect.

Coming" to Nuyorican Soul - no cheesy disco to skip past. The band also
is kick-ass live.
