Top 10(ish) Salsa

[Corabar Steve]

Following from this thread What are your top tracks of the genre? (please only list tracks that are proven to actually work in a mobile disco situation & not just because they are of a certain genre. Also must be suitable for all ages)

It doesn't matter if you post a track that somebody else has, the idea is to find good useable tracks of the genre that are proven to work for mobile DJs

Please Stick to the specific genre in the thread title

Make the lists as long as you like as long as they are useable

The only one I was ever asked for was:

Africando - Aisha

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Here's a couple that I've used at a Puerta Rican wedding

Ricky Martin - Livin' la vida loca
Tito Puente - Oye coma va
Pete 'El Conde' Rodriguez - I like it like that

Not 10, but it's a start.

[robbiedj]

Don't play many, I must admit.

I have played Oye Coma Va.

Others

Cuba - Gibson Bros
Everybody salsa - Modern Romance
Salsation - David Shire

And just the other week a fellow came up and requested "That salsa track by the Mavericks.... Dance The Night Away"

It is a salsa and they all danced it.

Yep, 'Dance the Night Away' - where country meets salsa.

Other salsa stuff

Michael Bublé 'Sway' (Ralphi's Salsation Vox Mix)
Marc Anthony 'I Need to Know'

[DJ Jules]

Bump! I've been asked for a Salsa segment for a wedding next weekend and have no clue what to play. I've got the odd compilation of vaguely Latin American stuff (Enrique, Santana, Lou Bega, Gloria Estafan, etc), but that's about it!

Any ideas??

[WWDJ]

i've only been asked for one track and it was for a first dance.

My neighbour is a salsa teacher, and she always uses/recommends the Rhythms Del Mundo CD's, there's a Rhythms del Mundo (Cuba) and a new one out too, Rhythms del Mundo Classics, but basically they are all salsa versions of songs by artists like Coldplay, Artic Monkeys, Jack Johnson etc, I've played Coldplay-Clocks and Ai No Corrida before at gigs, both off the cuban album, when people asked for some salsa stuff and they liked it.
