You know I am referring to you, the person who keeps on impersonating different people and trying to keep people from attending SalsaBoston events.
My friend, this website is for salsa dancers, not listeners of LaMega or any other station that is listened to by Latino teenagers born in the USA who don't know a damn thing about real Latin music.
LaMega is fine for a certain segment of the Latin population and I listen to it on ocassion on the weekends, when they play classic hits by greats such as Hector LaVoe, Ruben Blades, Willie Colon, Tito Puente, El Gran Combo, La Sonora Poncen~a, etc.
Salsa dancing is a world-wide phenomenon that is catching on finally in Boston. Just because a "gringo" is running the most popular website for salseros doesn't grant anyone permission to slam the guy.
This guy Olaf is not trying to compete with LaMega or Vincent's or El Copa. He just wants to establish places where those of us who love to dance salsa want to go!
These other so-called Latino establishments don't play real Latin music. There are many of us Latinos born in the old countries who don't listen to the crap played on the most popular Latin stations in Boston. For that matter, Jose Masso, Peter Martinez and WBUR-FM 90.9 play real Latin music on their show called "Con Salsa World", which is on every Saturday night, starting at 12 midnight and running through till 5AM.
Maybe you should listen to their weekly radio show and you probably will learn something from these two gentlemen, who went to college to study the real roots of Latin music.
Stop slamming this guy Olaf, he has done nothing bad to you, hermano. It's one of your old DJ partners who dropped a dime on who you really are. You did stab him in the back a few years ago, remember?
