If you had told me : Excerpts from GoGo Earl's Salsa Autobiography

If you had told me that when Kelvin Harris and I first started in the Salsa Promotions business that we would have hosted at our parties Juan Matos, Ismael Otero , Victor and Burju, Sekou McMiller. Ana and Joel Massicot, Griselle Ponce, Gordon Neil, Yesenia Peralta , Edie the Salsa Freak, Nilda Borerro, Beto Hererra, Stracy Diaz and Tony Hernandez, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Universal Mambo, Shaka Brown, Psyonmauricio , Darlin Garcia , Tatit and Cristel , Rona Leblanc, Chris Soto and the list goes on and on I would have told you that you were crazy. Some Salsa's A Listers have been to the StuckOnSalsa Experience.

The key to our parties have always been the music , the DJs are always the most important part of the party to me . And we have had some of the best play at our parties from Local heroes, Piero , DJ Chris, DJ Bruno, Mike Morales, Nancy Alonso, DJ Ali , DJ Jon Trevino DJ Andy and my Main Main from Philly DJ Jose Rodriguez and DJ Joey from Miami. All of these DJ's rock.


I never understood why a promoter would spend 2 , 000 dollars to fly from Italy for a 1 hour workshop and a 5 minute performance and offer a DJ 150 dollares to play for 4 hours, That's just dumb. Oh well who am I to tell anothet promoter what to spend there money on?

I never understood why a =n instructor would ask for 1, 000 guarantee for a workshop, I guess of they can get why not . That's just plain salsa wack . But you know what they there is a salsa sucker born every minute
