  1. Carlos Santana -- San Francisco
    Carlos Santana is rightfully credited (along with Ritchie Valens, Tito Puente, Jose Feliciano and Los Lobos) with bringing Latin rock into the American mainstream. We shouldn't forget, though, that Santana was ... an important fixture in the late '60s San Francisco music scene that also included the likes of Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, all of whom owe a good measure of their success to promoter Bill Graham and his legendary Fillmore West.
  2. Latin Music
    Very little can be known for sure about music in what is now Latin America prior to the arrival of Europeans. Though there are extremely isolated peoples in the Amazon Basin and elsewhere that have had little contact with Europeans or Africans, Latin music is almost entirely a synthesis of European, African and indigenous elements. The advanced civilizations of the pre-contact era included the Mayan, Aztec and Incan empires.

  5. Latin Music -- Spanish Christians
    The name "Latin Alternative" was coined in the late 1990s by record company executives as a way to sell music that was -- literally -- all over the map. It was marketed as an alternative to the slick, highly produced Latin pop that dominated commercial Spanish-language radio, such as Ricky Martin or Shakira.

  7. Ross Perot -- Al Gore
    Ross Perot couldn't even beat ALIENS BENT ON ENSLAVING SPRINGFIELD, nay, EARTH!!! He's surely no match for the most ambitious, powerful, ruthless man in the world, Charles Montgomery Burns. Oh, sure, Perot will try to enlist the help of Tito Puente to compose another spiteful Latin Samba against Burns ("El diablo con dineiro") but Burns knows how to deal with bad P.R.
  8. Ray Barrett -- Ray Barretto
    In late 1972, percussionist and bandleader Ray Barretto found himself in a major transition between bands. He created a string of commercially and artistically successful salsa albums on the Fania label starting in 1968. Then his singer, Adalberto Santiago, left the band in 1972 to form Tipica ‘73 - and he recruited four more members of Barretto’s band. Barretto needed time to find replacements and rebuild his signature sound, but he wanted to continue recording. Instead of forcing a stagnant product, Barretto convinced Jerry Massuci, head of Fania, to let him record a Latin Jazz album. The album was recorded in the middle of the night, with an assortment of new Barretto collaborators such as drummer Billy Cobham and flautist Art Webb.

Juan Carlos Alonso was relocated from another SBS station in Orlando, FL and Frankie Jay was relocated from another SBS station in Puerto Rico. Juan Carlos and Frankie Jay voice resemblance to the former hosts have sparked a number of accusations of trying to imitate the former Vacilon hosts Luis Jimenez and Moonshadow.
