(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!
