TRIBUTE TO SERGIO RIVERA, FRIEND AND ARTIST.

Sadly we have lost our beloved friend and artist Sergio Rivera. In Honor of Sergio, I will be airing a tribute to him and to his love of salsa. Listeners can access the show all week on WBAI.org.

I can remember the day I called Sergio and told him I wanted to create a charanga that plays everything and, without hesitation, he said to me "Count me in." It was my honor to write the notes to one of his CD's describing how Sergio and crew approached the salsa with a New York Puerto Rican Tone. Here's a look at my old friend with Charanga Soleil.
