"If Music be the Food of Love, Play On..." Shakespeare's Twelfth Night

Since we launched the website in April 2000, it was a dream of mine to be able to learn more about the music and to help promote and educate the public about salsa music and the related latin musical genres that exist today, such as cuban son and latin jazz.

Once the website was more established, I finally had time starting in December 2000, to start putting that dream together and it is an on-going process of learning and research from the clubs, listening and talking to various artists, DJ's and promoters who live it and breathe it every day.

I would like to especially thank DJ Fab, DJ Billy Bryans of mundialmusic.com, DJ Alvaro C and other Toronto DJ's who have taken time to help me to continue this labour of love -- Rose Knows
