About Vicki/Contact
Vicki Solá and her long-running radio program Que Viva La Música, heard on 89.1 WFDU-FM and Salsa Warriors Radio (www.salsawarriors.com), provide the New York metro community with Salsa and Latin jazz produced by a singular mix of famous performers, plus artists rarely heard on commercial stations.
Featured on American Latino TV, Solá has served as an advisor to the Smithsonian Institution, and her articles have appeared in internationally circulated trade periodicals.
As she established her show, Solá worked full-time at a New York Spanish commercial station and part-time at a faraway one that offered oldies along with local fishing reports, and she took evening classes in which professors apologized for keeping her up. She also performed freelance audio production, usually at three a.m.
In short, she spent years guzzling black coffee, gulping down cold pizza, and walking into walls. After she banged her head against a particularly hard cinder block, it dawned on her that the stories she was cranking out during her spare time were autobiographical. And she felt compelled to share them.
Author of SciFi Fantasy novel The Getaway That Got Away (Full Court Press), and e-books Gneeecey’s Glossary…and other stuff and Gneeecey’s Pals, Solá lives in Bergen County, New Jersey, with her son Frank and rescued canine Horsey Cookie (a shepherd-hound mix certified by the county shelter as having been born on Earth).
