Miguelito's Corner (La Esquina de "El Guiro")
"Part II"
Weekend of 4/10/09 & 4/11/09.........
Sweet Lou and I had the studio to ourselves at WCLM, just like old times, and the music was exciting as ever. Lou got on the computer and was able to share some great classics with the listeners....The theme from West Side Story, Mambo Kings, etc. He mixed it up to the TEE! What a treat. On Saturday, WHAP was very exciting as well. Our producer, Jimmy Castro, set up a great interview with the infamous Izzy Sanabria, a legend in our Latin Jazz and Salsa community here in the U.S, as well as worldwide!
We learned that Izzy coined the phrase "SALSA" and that he MC'ed a host of Latin musical events, particularly with the Fania All-Stars. Izzy's fame came in many roles, as promoter, MC, actor, comedian, publisher, editor, and artist. He founded the Latin N.Y. magazine, and his artistic talents were demonstrated on several album covers and posters as well. With great interviews and equally great cartoons to illustrate the times, we cherish and remember the times of Latin N.Y. magazine. Check out Mr Sanabria's continued work at SalsaMagazine.com.
We thank Mr Izzy Sanabria for taking the time for The Latin Jazz Show, and of course, Jimmy Castro for bringing us this great interview!
