November already, wow 2009 has been a rollercoaster for everyone we know, one thing has been really steady all year, the amazing guests and dancers and vibes at the Afrolicious party have been heavy every week.
This week we have the amazing DJ Beto doing a guest spot. Beto just put together some amazing comps for Soundway records. Dig the Panama mix above and check out all volumes of the amazing Panama Compilations on Soundway.

Also tonight the good people at Fania Records have put out a compilation of Tito Rodriguez music (most originally on the Tico label). We have lots of Fania cds, t-shirts and bags for early arrivals tonight.
