In 1948, an aspiring Toronto restaurateur named Joe Brown opened his dream dining and dancing establishment. He named it after his favourite haunt, Mocambo, in California. the sign off the front of the building—a giant palm tree with the neon-lit letters of “El Mocambo”
This mythical place hosted and keeps on hosting all the big artists and groups for memorable evenings.

Vangelis Papathanassiou
From the 60’s group Aphrodite’s Child ( with lead vocals by Denis Roussos) , to becoming one of the great composers of our time.
Chariots of fire, 1492 and of course Blade Runner, among others, will forever be in our music memory.
And of course, he was a “Friend of Mr Cairo” with Jon Anderson at his side.
He died at the age of 79.
Wherever his soul may be, the soundtrack will definitely be better from now on
RIP. vi how

“It was 20 years ago today
Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play”
Well for MRR is not that long but today we can say that “ it was 365 days ago today , that MRR started online “
It was the beginning of an amazing journey of friendship, hard work, lots of rock and roll and a lot of fun for all the producers.
And we hope that we will continue to give all our listeners the best tracks from the best rock bands in the world.
And again, like in the lyrics:
“ It's wonderful to be here
It's certainly a thrill
You're such a lovely audience
We'd like to take you home with us
We'd love to take you home”
Happy B Day MRR! And many more to come
