| Don't You Love Young Teenage DJs That Love Vinyl Records Especially Rare Salsa Classics? This is So Inspiring! |
For must of us who detested this music during its
contemporary times and popularity, this 16 year old
had a passion for the classics even at a younger age
when the music was archaic and forgotten. One would
think during Ethan time he should be acting his own
age. This youngster should be listening to his
contemporary music by Gloria Estafan, Tito Nieves,
Gilberto Santa Rosa or Jerry Rivera who was popular
in the 90s.
Not for Ethan. He could not get into that soft, bubble
gum contemporary Salsa Pop crap. He wanted the
hard swinging stuff. The stuff that has clave,
cha-cha-cha, soul, guaguanco, rumba and you made
it. He wanted the swinging stuff and he found it on
Hard Salsa Radio.

When most of us were younger during our teenage
years in the 70’s, we hated Salsa music. We wanted
nothing to do with the popular Tito Puente, Celia
Cruz and Eddie Palmieri. We would put our hands
over our ears every time our parents played those
horrible tunes we hated on the photograph also
known as record players. Not so for the 16-year old
teenager Ethan Lopez of New Bedford,
Massachusetts who discovered Hard Salsa Radio on
September 2006 and was in heaven as he stated in
an recent email sent to us. Ethan was always
captivated of the classic salsa tunes at younger age.

Amazingly, this youngster has already begun collecting rarities which is not expected from a young teenagers.
Ethan Lopez is one of those sons you always wanted to have that you can sit with, listen to the classics and share
with him how those artist made an influence on your life.
Ethan is going to have an influence on many of the youngsters today as he educates his peers and informs them,
“what you are listening today is not Salsa…let me show you SALSA from our real culture when musicians studied
their instruments and practiced diligently that made our parents swing their butts.” Hey Ethan, 'Keep those records
in perfect condition and do not lend them to friends. Those records are precious gems and are worth more than
diamonds in my opinion. Diamonds can be replaced. Vinyl records can not be replaced. Most are out of print."
