Latin dance music
MadameMuna said:
Hey, I am new to this forum and to the hispanic scene. I'm originally hispanic, but was adopted by a caucasian family. But I suppose that is irrelevant - well I am getting to know my culture a bit more. And I realized that I love latin dance tracks. Songs that are great to dance to, like salsa or merengue or bachata types. But unfortunately I don't know the names of any of these kind of songs, could someone please recommend me some good songs for dancing to?
Thank you!!!!!!!!1
Hello again,
When I say "tropical music" that is the term used to describe latin music that is: salsa, merengue, bachata and cumbia. I guess in your terms the party music as you mentioned. Since other fans gave their suggestions I feel obligated to give some as well since I am a huge music follwer. Here you go:
Salsa:
1. Orquesta Guayacan- Colombia's finest
2. Grupo Niche- get their older music it's better than their recent
productions. For example albums such as: Etnia, A Prueba de Fuego and Huellas del Pasado are nice. Also the greatest hits.
3. Sonora Carruseles- all their albums. Especially the last four releases:
Heavy Salsa, Con Todos los Hierros, De una vez gozando, La salsa la traigo yo.
4. Victor Manuelle- all great albums.
5. Los Titanes- recommended album: Salsa al maximo voltaje.
6. Joe Arroyo- this guy is great. Be careful however with the albums you buy. I suggest: Deja que cante & Mi Libertad.
Merengue:
The more traditional the better in my opinion.Stay away from the Puerto Rican groups. My favorites are:
1.Los Hermanos Rosario.
2. Los Toros band
3. Rubby Perez
4. Tono Rosario
5. Eddy Herrera
6. Rikarena- this is really fun music. Especially the lyrics.
Bachata-
1. Antony Santos -El Mayimbe (mi Mayimbe). This guy is awesome. Suggested albums are: Juego de amor, Sin ti, Enamorado & El balazo.
2. Raulin Rodriguez- I absolutely adore this guy. All his albums are good. They are available on amazon.com with good feedback from those who have purchased his albums.
Suggested albums are: Soledad, Corazon Corazon, Arancame la vida, Sin Fortuna & Derroche de amor. (when you learn Spanish you will understand why his music is so beautiful).
3. Joe Veras- same thing. He is a grand poet with great emotion. I strongly suggest "Carta de verano" & "Con mas amor".
4. Frank Reyes- High, high respect. This guy is a class A act....all the time!
Suggested albums: Dejame entrar, Vine a decirte adios, Extrano mi Pueblo.
This should get you into "musica tropical". You will enjoy it. If you have any more questions. Just ask.
Take Care,
