La Esquina Latina
by Lou Pomales, WPKN
La Esquina Latina (LEL) humbly began in 1974 with the sole purpose of bringing the Latino culture into the homes of WPKN listeners regardless of ethnicity or language spoken.Presented in English with the occasional Spanish, LEL focuses on the cultural significance of the lyrics, syncopated rhythms, and the melodic runs of the Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban song, including other Latino influences and Latin Jazz.Since 1974, Luis has been keeping musica Latina alive and strong. His mantra has always been, “Remember…it’s all about the music! It has always been about the music and not the person behind the microphone. This is so important! Projecting a social and time-honored cultural consciousness has always been at the very foundation of LEL mission.”From time to time, you will hear personal interviews with the likes of Eddie Palmieri, Chucho Valdez, Andy Gonzalez, Bobby Sanabria, Larry Harlow, William Mendoza, Poncho Sanchez, Son 7, Sol y Canto, Joe Gaines, Joe Bataan, Bobby Rodriguez
