Yeah but if it is a Romantica the melody was very likely designed for some non-salsa music. Take note that some people hate instrumentals and salsa dura, but love romanticas (I like them too, but more for listening, less for the rhytm).

Interesting. I find Dura instrumentals much better (stronger powerful feel) vs romantica instrumentals which I find have the melody as the only thing keeping the feel strong.

Take Lluvia here for example:

(first song)

I agree with your sentiment.

I just heard La Tormenta by Ricky C (for the first time in my life) and this is the epitome of elevator music. False advertising to call it Sals :mad:. So, which DJ Hendrix song?

The DJ Hendrix tracks I've heard don't do anything for me. I'm not sure if I actually like Tras la tormenta by DJ Ricky Campanelli (which I assume is what you're referring to) but it sounds a lot better than it's getting credit for on this thread.

Edit: I didn't make it to the end of Tras la tormenta so I guess don't actually like it. It doesn't offend me though.

As a whole, I like instrumental music; one of the most effective ways to fall asleep next to ASMR and ambient. In terms of "Salstrumenal" as I like to call it, it has to keep the same funk, fat tones and strong melody for me to "respect" it as Salsa. Brass instruments really bring out the energy. I created a thread asking for these to make the Salstrumental playlist. So far, the ones I have (worth keeping in my daily playlist):

: Eclipse - Tito Rodriguez Jr.
: Fabry's Swing - La Maxima 79
:
(new find).
: Ramon - Groupo Latin Vibe (belongs in a 70's porno flick). But still danceable every once in a while (maybe once a week).
:
(new find).

---------
: Via - Al Delory - I can only listen to once all the other tracks are done. Belongs in "Chariots of Fire." It's instrumental but not as bad as La Tormenta.
: La Tormenta? - I might fall asleep on the dance floor.
: Flambo - I would be looking for an instructor to start teaching.
: Singapore Vibes - seems to be somewhat boring and repetitive.
:
it's OK but kinda flat.

I don't mind if songs are converted into instrumentals as long as they have the aforementioned components.


Odd instrumental.

I love a good mambo instrumental (for listening and dancing) but these do nothing for me. The only reasonable one is The Salsa Song, which at least does sound like a pretty good band, even though that track isn't anything special.

What a thread.
