Ok..they dont have to all be bachata. But i am trying to put a compilation cd together and I keep on getting stuck on which ones to include on the cd i am making.

I can probably get more than 10 songs a cd...but thought i would ask for folks favorite bachata, merengue or others for a must have compilation.

Most of my stuff is Frank Reyes, Raulin, Yoskar, L.M. D' amargue, Santos, Huey Dunbar, Aventura...uh...and Vives, and Guerra and some others.

Dang! no wonder i am having such a hard time! Perhaps i need to make it a double CD collection!

anyhoo...gimme your top ten!

thanks!

I like Princesa by Frank Reyes, Yo No Me Muero by Makina, Visa por un Sueno by Guerra, Como Te Extrano Mi Amor Divino by Alex Bueno

just a thought; if you save the files as .mp3 you can get a lot more songs per CD...like 50-100 depending on the "quality".

almost all CD players can play mp3's these days and it would only cost 1 CD to make a test copy to make sure it will work for your application :)

Tambo--- what is that called-- the instrument above your name?

It's called the instrument that my daughter plays to drive me crazy ;)

OK Seriously...bachata

Some of my all-time favourites are:

Hoy te vi pasar-Kiko Rodriguez
Hoja en blanco-Monchy y Alexandra
Voy pa'lla-Antony Santos
No ha sido facil-Monchy y Alexandra
Porque te amo-Antony Santos
Se acabara mi suerte-Antony Santos

You want merengues?

Si me dejas muero-Aventura
Yo me muero por ti-Antony Santos
Por tu orgullo-Aventura
Dejame entrar-Aventura

So many more, let me think about it ;)

Right now you have to have Zacarias Ferreiras' "Dime que falto?" (this is the bachata of the year) and "es tan dificil". Zacarias is tearing it up right now.

Anthony santos is putting out some really good stuff lately ("Vete alejate de mi" is just awesome, para bien o para mal, etc).

The old & the new-

J-

A mix of the old and new always makes for a great cd IMO.

I have not heard any new songs by Frank Reyes or Raulin R as yet. I need to find time to dedicate to listening to some of these new releases. This year has been my most low key year for music purchases in the past ten years. I purchased only four cds this year and that will be it for 2007.

My picks:

1/ Luto en mi coraz?n- Joe Veras
2/ La pared- Joe Veras
3/ La traves?a- Joe Veras
4/ Por ti voy a morir- Frank Reyes
5/ Viviendo en la soledad- Frank Reyes
6/ Se me salen las l?grimas- Raulin R
7/ Que vuelva- Raulin R
8/ Ay amor- A Santos
9/ Si volvieras- A Santos
10/ Que me perdone- Kiko R

*Bonus Tracks

Bandida- Kiko R
Por tu primer beso- Raulin R
No te voy a dejar- Luis Segura
Vuelve amor- Antony Santos
Isabel- El Chaval
Maldita pasi?n- Luis Vargas- he really can play the guitar.


If you want some merengue picks go with Hector Acosta's album Sigo siendo yo (2006), Los Hermanos Rosario-Aura (2007). This is their new cd which is a gem. Other good artists: Los Toros Band, Rubby P?rez and some of Fernandito Villalona's music. One album in particular that's really good is Mal acostumbrado (2002).

Lesley, right now there's a new song "Dime Que Se Siente" it's a duo Raulin with Geovanny Polanco.

Home - www.LosTraficante.com

On the left hand side you'll see Raulin's and Geovanny's pic, which leads you to a zip file.
The song is ok, not that great.

To the OP, if you follow the same link you will hear the Top 10 bachatas, all current year songs. Maybe you'll like a few !

i knew les would come up with some great stuff....and i give my thanks to the rest of you as well.

This is going to have to be a double cd.

has raulin recovered from his vocal surgery?!!! awesome if he has!!!

OMG elvis!!!...that link was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY to funny!!!! lololololololollolol9olol
