Manolin Timba's hottest ex-medical student. Cuba's hottest salsa act of the 1990's has to be Manuel Hernandez. Better known as "El Medico de la Salsa" (The doctor of salsa), a name bestowed upon him by Jose Luis Cortes, leader of NG La Banda, and the one that helped launch his new career. A graduate of medical sciences at the University in his native Havana, Manolin, as he is affectionately called, was singing here and there, when he was picked up to tour Mexico as part of a group. After his return, he realized that his true love was music, not necessarily medicine. So he put together his own 12 piece band, and as the saying goes, the rest is history. Within 2 years he had won the heart and soul of the Cuban masses, attracting as many as 90,000 fans to one of his concerts and is being acclaimed for both his presence on stage and his brand of music, one that can be best described as "salsa callejera" (street music).

Rick "DJ Dark Rum" Washington has been passionate about music since childhood. He played bass guitar to Jimi Hendrix tunes at 13, DJ’d high school hip hop parties at 16, and produced tracks for a hip hop artist at age 21. In the early 90's, the young naive DJ/producer walked into the Salón Rosado Benny Moré (aka - La Tropical) in La Habana Cuba and experienced an Afro-Cuban cultural awakening that would change his life forever - Timba! Later, with the assistance of high school friends Walter Vela &Alvaro Batista, Rick created Añejo Productions, a DJ/event promotion group committed to providing their hometown of San Francisco with the best in Salsa con Timba y Reggaeton. Their first infamous club event "LA TROPI-CAL" @ il Pirata has been going strong "every last Friday of the month!" for almost 8 years; its weekly sister party "La Bodeguita del Medio" @ Lil Baobab has been carrying on for over 3 years. In addition to the aforementioned, he has organized concerts for such artists &bands as 90 millas, El Pikete, La Charanga Cubana, Chalo y su Ache, Danny Lozada, &Pepito Gomez as well as various Bay Area artists. |
