Hi Lolita! :) Few questions: Fast, slow, mid tempo? Group or couple? About how long of a track needed for performance? On1, On2, New York Style? Casino Rueda? :D

[lolita]

few answers :lol:
ruedo , fast, couple, and about the timing
not less than 3 minuits and not more than 4 mins 30 secs.

Okay, my taste in music is really "Salsa Classica" but here are a few that are more mainstream. Try the following and see what you think:

La Paella by Jose "El Canario" Alberto-This one has some interested changes in the song that you may be able to work with.
El Pito by Sonora Carruseles
Cuerno Na Ma by Jose Mangual, Jr. This one is kinda fast for rueda but if it's just you and your partner (Casino or On1 LA Style), it might work.
Soy La Candela by Edwin Bonilla-Not that fast but will work for Casino Rueda

Here are some other threads that may be able to help:

Hopefully, others will chime in with more suggestions. This will at least get you started. :)

Hi Lolita! I may add some other recomendations:
"Quiero salsa" by Jose alberto "el canario"
"castigala" and "se te acabo la rumba" by Maraca
"tócame la clave" by Orquesta guayacan (this one is really good, but may be too fast for a rueda)
"a calzón quitao" by Oliver
"para ser rumbero" by Rubén Blades
"anabacoa" by Oscar D'León
