Maleet is a first generation American who made it his goal to expose the sounds of forgotten Latino musicians to a whole new generation of music fans. Maleet has discovered some of his most prized records in some pretty strange places. You might find him digging for albums anywhere — from the local beauty salon and barber shop, to the far reaches of Latin America! The only downside to his music quest? Developing allergies from the dust while flipping through record bins! But that's not going to stop this music hunter from continuing his search for the rare sounds of Latino artists gone by...
Music: Music is his life.

Y Tu, Kid Frost, what are you proud of?
"There are many things that make me proud to be a Latino.
The #1 thing is the diverse multi-cultural sound of Latino music: cumbias, salsa, merengue, chicano rap etc.
The #2 thing that I am proud of is the Latino work ethic.
The #3 thing that I am proud of is our food! We make the most flavor hands down."



Maleet is cool!!!
