Paco Navarro
New York radio DJ
Paco (Manuel "Paquito" Navarro) is best known for his midday DJ stint at New York Disco radio station WKTU-FM better known as "Disco 92." His favorite phrase: "Paco's my name and Disco's my game" still conjures up memories of the radio cranked up load during the 70s and early 80s especially when he hosted his Paco Supermix each weelday at 4PM where he featured such DJs as Aldo Marin and Jose "The Animal" Diaz doing their continuos Disco mixes.
Paco had been doing Spanish language radio for "La Mega" WSKU-FM the last few years, but is back doing classic Disco and dance for New York's Mix 102.7 on Saturday nights.

Paco:
When Paco was on the air, you were sure to receive Mix Shows from Aldo Marin and Jose "The Animal" Diaz.
Don't forget, the deep voice on 92 KTU brought to you by "Paco's Panties"!
Paco, may your years extend with the passion brought on your listeners.
One Love,

I´m tocuhed with these informations about Paco.
I´m a DJ here in Brazil and when I was a little child i hearded Julio Mazzei and Paco´s SuperMix...It was amazing...
Nowadays my little daughter call me Paco...
it´s a big mistery because she´s learning to talk and she don´t say dad or father...
She say Paco...
I would like to know a little more about this INCREDIBLE deejay.
Keep The Music Rolling...

I remember Paco then, and I still listen to him today. He has one of, if not, the most recognizable voices in New York City radio history. I still enjoy hearing his voice at the Copacabana where he hosts the latin nights. If anyone has recordings of Paco's Supermix, I would gladly pay a fee for a copy.
God bless Paco and his 92 KTU compadres :0)

I used to work in a Video Arcade in Hoboken, NJ in the late 70's early 80's and man I used to crank the radio to 92 KTU whenever PACO was on and everybody would get down poppin and dancing like only us BORIQUAS know how. PACO I miss your great mixes and would love the opportunity to acquire as many as I can. Let me know if they are available at my email address.

Hello everyone! I was living in New York from 1973 till 1978.I'm russian, from Moscow. I still have disco 92 WKTU on cassette tape. It's amazing record. I don't know for sure who's DJ voice there, but it's deep, almost baritone and effective. Maybe it's Paco Navarro or somebody else /I wonder who it was?/ but the voice saying: "This are the sounds of Disco 92 WKTU, Cerrone SSSSSuper nature". Who could it be? With respect Andrew Kobysh

Does any one have copies of the Paco's super mixes for sale or copy. I loved the lunch break 92 super mix.
thanks
thanks

I remember growin' up listenin' to Paco on KTU. My fondest memories of Paco are when he's spin at USA Roller Rink in Jackson Heights, Queens! My l'il friends n' I would be so starstruck, lol. I remember gettin' an autographed pic from him *sigh* Roller skates, flashing lights n' Paco. That's what dreams are made of, maaan.

I used to hear the paco supermixes via german radio station rias 2. Hosted from the great barry graves.
I will never forget this great music. Paco stays the #1. Years later I got some of the mixes in poor quality but I still love them!

I'm from Moscow. I was 10 years old and lived in New York with my perents in 1978. And I remember this great velvet voice of DJ Paco Navarro when I listen to "Disco 92". I still have compact cassette of WKTU disco 92. Absolutely great music, mixes and sounds of commercials. Great selections of the songs like John Davies and monster orchestra or Raydio's "Jack and Jill". Paco always start very effective when he present upcoming song like : "This are the sounds of disco 92 WKTU, CCCCCerrrone, SSSSuper nature!
