Blue Moon Party!!!

(paradoxically?) New Year's Day is going to be a 'Blue Moon' Night (geeks: this is a once-every-19 years-event!). Special music is required!

Here is my selection of party music fit for a Blue Moon New Year: hard-hitting Afro-Cuban with enough pumping timba to trigger an avalanche; a ton of sweaty latin funk to melt you down, pulsating cumbia, plena, bomba, guaguanco and m'balax to trigger your senses; and lots of kinky salsa dura to make your hands work in sync with your hips -including a few XXX-rated numbers! Grab your partner and hit the dancefloor! Enjoy: parties that good only happen once in a blue moon!

merry xmas 09 @ the jazfro club!

Guaguanco OR reggaeton? Apple pie OR chocolate cake? I'll have a bit of both, thank you! It's all delicious! Look at my beautiful cake!

This year's xmas mix is club-oriented with tons of acid jazz, latin funk, Brazilian grooves, boogaloo, and strong dj influences with the usual cosmopolitan mix -this time with a strong Havana-to-London axis. Jazfro's feeling about Xmas 09: stuff the turkey and hit the dancefloor!
