For a lot of music lovers in the Netherlands in the 1980s Dave's radio show "Musica Exotica" was the first introduction into new and exciting music styles. Although broadcast initially in the middle of the night (but always live!), the show soon gathered a loyal group of followers. Dave's expertise lay primarily in latin and salsa music, so he invited others to his show with knowledge of other music styles.Dave was also responsible for a impressive series of live recordings.
To commemorate this radio legend I would like to share this lp from Côte D'Ivoire featuring one of Dave's favourite salsa artists, Monguito El Unico.This one's for you, Dave.

thanks for the music - sorry it comes at the expense of your friend.
condolences from the Global Groove.
Sweet LP by Monguito ! thanks.
Ah dat is Dave van Dijk? Goed om te zien. - He introduced me to Les Gypsies and I felt in love with that band... and compas, ...and Les Difficiles.
The programm Backline Tropical I loved as well. But later the VPRO stopped their activities and I had to turn over to belgian radio.
Actually, the lead vocals on this lp are by Melcochita, the AfroPeruvian singer and comedian.

La vida es limitada.
Con la música y la danza vivimos el instante,
es en ese momento, cuando conectamos con el universo,
el lugar de donde llegamos y donde volveremos.
Ummm que ritmo Monguito¡¡,
sigamos bailando¡
@Alexsam (anonymous): You are right. I had planned to post another Monguito album (but couldn't/can't find the cover).
I will post yet another Monguito lp later (very soon).
Link seems to be bad now (Dec 2011) unfortunately
