It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our longtime colleague and father figure, "El Hombre de la Camisa Roja" Joaquin del Toro. Joaquin, 89, a native of Cuba, was heard on Alma del Barrio for three decades. He loved doing the show with all his heart and soul and was a father figure to all of the staff.
