Carlos Nodal
Disco DJ (b. 1950s d. 1990s??)
Carlos Nodal was a Jersey boy who started as a deejay in the early seventies. He was ahead of his time, trying to make his music, continuous, without dead air. In a time before mixers, Carlos would cut mix, coming on strong and instantly at just the right time. When the first mixers appeared, he continued doing his now specialized form of mixing.
Soon Carlos Nodal was up and down the Jersey Shore clubs during the summer. During the off months, he would be found at places like, FIRE & ICE (North Bergen NJ), CAMEO, the IMPERIAL MANOR and CREATIONS. Each and every one a DISCO from the early seventies that set the standard in Northern Jersey. Soon he came to Miami, where as a Billboard reporter, he gained a much deserved reputation as one of South Florida's best.He was HONEY FOR THE BEARS, the first really spectacular Club that was the talk of MIAMI for years.
Working with Bo Crane, Carlos Nodal installed and provided deejays at many clubs that were springing up and wanted him. After the City forced HONEY FOR THE BEARS to go away, he resurfaced at the WATERFRONT a gay club, that was into the music in a big way. Then Nodal was the original deejay at CASANOVAS, and groomed Ciro LLenra into the super star he became. Carlos is no longer with us, having died. I just found out about it, and wish I knew more. Help me out everyone.

COMMENTS ON Carlos Nodal
A fellow deejay down here in Miami has just informed me that CARLOS NODAL passed away in 1999 from lung cancer. I don't remember CARLOS being a smoker, except an occasional CUBAN CIGAR. But I may be mistaken. I miss my little friend, he was very good to a lot of deejays, I was one. I am a little disappointed that South Florida's deejay community hasn't responded to our FRIEND'S page. CIRO LLerena knew him best, they worked together for years in various clubs. Bo Crane also was very much a friend of CARLOS NODAL, someone should tell him about this site and this page. I would like to hear what his friends have to say about Carlito.
I did not know Carlos passed away. He was a legend in Miami. How come CIRO hasn't written something here? Wasn't he your best friend?
