Changui
I am searching for slow salsa songs to use for teaching. I have put together a couple of CDs, maybe 30 songs or so, but I am having trouble finding more! Can someone suggest a list of slow salsa songs, that are nice to listen to and around 80-85 bpm :?: I find that after a while the same songs get boring, and the dance students get tired of them too! I think if I play buscando guayaba one more time my students will flip out!

thanks
 
Hy !!!
I am using for example: The New York Sextet - (from the album) - Recordando los sextetos, the tracks :
Hermanos con salsa,
Salsa ahi na' ma,
Pancha Caridad,

... from Grupo Latin Vibe - (from the album) - All that Vibe
La llave

Fania all stars - Per eso yo canto salsa
Ray Barreto - Acid
Buena Vista Social Club - A buena vista ...

... i hope this list will help you ... see ya
 
80-85 bpm? there's no salsa so slow. around 100 bpm you'll find cha cha cha, slower maybe son.

To start slow, a lot of instrutors use cha cha cha to teach salsa.
 
slow music

Thanks for the advice! As to the bpm, I am honestly not sure how DJs count it...a friend of mine DJs and he uses every 2 beats, beats me why! I find, for simply teaching purposes, that a tempo between 145 and max 180 bpm is adequate. To slow and the students cant do the break long enough and too fast and they just get frustrated or they dont dance in the music at all...

Here is a list of the songs that I use so far, there are a fair number but I am sure there are more nice slow salsa songs...
