Profile: Frankie Ruiz: Another Salsa Casualty
by John Child


Literally hundreds of Latin London readers will have danced - probably unknowingly - to Frankie Ruiz' swinging salsa romántica tunes in salsa clubs and, if you own a copy of London's top selling Latin compilation Salsa Fresca!, then you'll be familiar with his rousing hit track "Bailando" ("Dancing"). Sadly, on August 9, Frankie became the most recent addition to a growing list of salsa careers destroyed or curtailed by substance abuse when he died of liver cirrhosis at the University Hospital of New Jersey.
