Just a heads up, I still update this playlist regularly if you are interested in checking out the new releases.

Thanks, I have also seen your "Salsa Nueva 2021". I will check if there is anything I missed. What source do you use for new releases? I wrote my own program in Python, leveraging Spotify API, parsing webpages on everynoise, and getting genre information from the hidden echonest API. And then...

Huge update this week. It took me a while to catch up with all the new releases. It might seem like I included too many, but in truth, I only kept around 15% of the songs! A couple of great and notable albums: Aventurero by Frank Reyes (Bachata) Salsa Tropical by Anthony Cruz (Salsa)

I have been busy with other another project, namely tracking some Hip-Hop and R&B releases (over 6000 songs!), and producing some new DJ sets. Which means I am a bit late to update this release tracker, and I still have a couple of weeks of releases to catch up with. The good news, is I have...

Here are the latest updates. This includes a few tributes to the famous Puerto Rican salsero Tito Rojas, who passed away on 26 Dec: Song Artist Released Nadie Es Eterno en el Mundo (Homenaje a Tito Rojas) Antonio Cartagena 29 Jan 2021 Homenaje a La Orquesta Inmensidad Alex León 29 Jan...

I find his latest Version Privé release too soft and subdued, which was disappointing as I was expecting so much more from his low key acoustic sessions. Don't get me wrong, I love Juan Luis Guerra's music in general. His original merengue for this song is fantastic, but this version has lost...

I am fine with that. The point of this playlist is not to produce a 'nice' collection of songs, but to track new releases on Spotify. I check all the new releases, but do not add them all to the playlist. I actually only select the best ones which I think might be of interest to some...

Those are the current releases. There a few faster songs, like the ones from Orlando Poleo, but most of the others are what I would call standard speed for dancing. Personally though, when I dance, I do like faster music, like salsa cali, salsa dura, bachata dominicana, or merengue. But I also...

I know what you mean a cowbell song being too harsh and loud sometimes, but I cannot help wondering if it comes from your speakers or headphones not being properly balanced.

Since I cannot post a links to the playlist yet, here are a few salsa highlights from the latest batch:

El Aventurero, by Josimar y Su Yambu, and Yelson Jimenez. Great Peruvian salsa song released in early 2020.

I am a curator for latin music, supplying music to DJs around the world. This means I try listen to every new bachata, salsa, cumbia and merengue release. I maintain, for my own use, a Spotify playlist of the most noteworthy of those releases, and I have decided to make it public. As I just...
