We start with the new track from Puerto Rican Vico C, entitled Blam Blam, for which he invited Al2 El Aldeano and his compatriot Gilberto Santa Rosa. Also from the hand of veteran artists, came Manteca 2.0a fantastic tribute to the rumba great Chano Pozo and the jazz genius Dizzy Gillespie. Artists such as Yerba Buena, Los Van Van, Alain Pérez, Pedrito Martínez, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Yissy García were involved.

And precisely enters for the second week the pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, who released this month the album Borrowed Rosesfrom which we chose his version of summer time. Another repeat is trumpet player and composer Lachy Torriente with King of Beninwhich is a is part of its first EP titled Black Sonataof which we also recently highlighted in our playlist the song Vida.

In the urban scene we find Wow Popy, who released a new album and we are left with Hormonesthe song inaugurates it; while Velito the Jester sneaks in with El Viento. The theme that could not be missed is the surprising version of the punk of the Chocolate MC classic Divine Palonby Chezca Zana, advocate of hyperreparto.
