El Caobo
Recently, on Fania Records’ official website (http://www.fania.com/es/content/dj-el-caobo-get-and-dance), El Caobo was called “…one of the top Salsa dj’s in the world!”
El Caobo is a premier tropical music, and especially SALSA/MAMBO, DJ and radio host. He is also an authorized representative of the legendary Fania Records and West Side Latino/Seeco Records labels. As such, he has traveled to cities across the United States (including the very cradle of salsa: New York City) to share what he affectionately calls “salsa de la mata” with clubs filled with very receptive audiences of eager SALSA/MAMBO dancers! ‘Salsa de la mata’ is a term that El Caobo culled from Jesús Pagán’s album of that very name.
El Caobo currently hosts two fully bilingual radio shows at two different college radio stations: the Illinois Institute of Technology, WIIT, 88.9 FM (7 years) and the University of Chicago, WHPK, 88.5 FM (2 years). Both shows are called El Tornado Tropical con El Caobo and stream live on the internet; as well as air on the FM dial in Chicago. Additionally, El Caobo’s shows are podcasted on Andrés Padua’s renown Hard Salsa Radio.
El Caobo is also a professional Spanish-English-Spanish interpreter/translator; with experience as a court interpreter in both criminal and civil matters.
Lastly, but very importantly, El Caobo is also a Spanish teacher, with a degree in “Teaching of Spanish” from the University of Illinois-Chicago.
