A few weeks ago Rupture was quite rightly bemoaning the lack of coverage the Cosmopolatino media were giving to the man with the world’s greatest voice, Omega. How things change in a short period of time as here he is co-hosting Alex Sensation’s weekly top 5 tropical countdown. It’s good to see Don Omar’s Danza …

Salsa Explosion
After 2 months in Brazil, a failed attempt at reading Caetano Veloso’s Verdade Tropical and far too many Reais spent on awful technobrega cd-rs (if someone can point me in the right direction please do) I’m back in Colombia where wherever you go and whoever you speak there’s a comforting love of all things Salsa. …
Mr and Mrs Vamanos
There are tearful eyes all over England tonight and it’s nothing to do with a certain football result i feel i played a part in, it’s because of the news that tomorrow Vamanos’ days as a rum-drinking man about town are officially over. Being half way around the world i can’t attend the ceremony myself …
World Cup Rivalry Part 4 – Algeria vs England
Not being unpatriotic but I promised myself that for the World Cup i’d always support the African team first. Things aren’t looking too promising at the moment for the African nations so Algeria will definitely need my support against England tomorrow.

Vuvuzela House + 70s Rare Groove

Now not only can we hear it whilst we watch England fail miserably in the World Cup we can be treated to its joys whilst listening to …

Kode9
Two years after everyone’s favourite angsty basshead Kode9 deplored “fashionable tropical music” (in Plan B i think but if anyone can send us a link to the interview it would be muchly appreciated) he continues to lighten up and to dip his toes into some warm tropical waters. K7 are giving away a free download …
Shangaan – Old and New
Sometimes i spend hours on youtube just burrowing through all of the videos, there are times when i stop and realise i have to stop and that i should have gone to bed two hours ago, but sometimes i find stuff like this It seems as though Shangaan is really taking off, Eddie Stats has …
Esta ciudad es una ciudad fantasma
Everyone knows the clubbing situation in Buenos Aires has been harsh in the last few years. Although it gave us the awesomeness of the BumBumBox/Comeme crew, once winter hits we can’t be expecting them to play us DJ sets in the park where Ron Hardy tracks are mixed with Peruvian Chica every weekend. The awesome …
