¿Mueve la Cintura?

OK I'm looking for a song... probably called "Mueve La Cintura", it's a Cuban timba-style groove

It's _not_ Issac, it's not Sol y Soul... nor is it a track of that name by Son Sublime or Conjunto Mangual.

At the London Carnival de Cuba 2006 both Arnaldo y Su Talisman and Sur Caribe played versions of it, with band members taking turns to mueve their cinturas out front.

The bass line is very similar to "Te Toca Ahora" by Bimbo G.

I've heard recordings played a couple of times, but each time the DJ said it was something he picked up in/from Cuba and he wasn't quite sure what it was or who it was by.

Any suggestions?
 
have you tried looking at Roberto Torres "El Caminate" 's recordings? He sings Meneame la cuna... could it be that one?

As far as I'm aware, the Adalberto and Issac versions are the same -- Adalberto's band with Issac on vocals, from a joint album called "El Chevere de la Salsa/El Caballero del Son".

This is certainly timba, but not the track I'm looking for.

Or is there a different Adalberto version, in which case what is the name of the album?

As for not knowing one's music -- I certainly like to know everything I have, but do occasionally get given stuff, especially from Cuba where the musical situation is a little, ummm "fluid", where it can take some time to find out what it is, or even if it's been officially released at all.
 
I doubt there is another version, or I havent heard about it. I'll try to look into it more, and yes you are right about the cuban music situation on that manner.

how about la charanga habanera - muevete? or conquistadores de la salsa - mueve tu cintura?
 
No amigo, neither of them are the one I'm looking for -- I have muevete (terrific track!), and just checked out conquistadores on youtube.

As I say, it's kind of like the Bimbo G "Te Toca Ahora", especially the end of which could almost be another version of the same thing...
 
Another nice track thanks, but that's not it...

It really has "cintura" and "mueve la cintura" repeatedly all the way through, and the bass line would be something like A-A-A G F E, (or similar in another key), descending, very similar in rhythm to the end of the Bimbo G.
