What are some salsa/cha-cha songs that changes genre? I don't mean salsa changing to cha-cha what I mean is a salsa song or a cha-cha song that changes to a completely different genre.

Some examples are DLG's cover of Johnny Pacheco's Acuyuye, which in the end changes to a reggae then it changes back into a salsa. Another version is, "El cuerpo me pide" by Victor Manuelle and Elvis Crespo, it changes back and forth from salsa to merengue. Another one is Tito Nieves' cover of the famous ranchera, "De que manera te olvido", in the beginning it's a bachata then it changes to a salsa. Two from Juan Luis Guerra that I can name are, "Señales de humo" and "Como abeja al panal" which are bachatas but they change to cha-cha.

Are there any more?
 
Well one of my favorite songs to dance to because it changes genres is "A sancochar boniato" by Orquesta Reve which starts as rumba, changes to timba and then to son montuno. Fun to be able to dance several dances to the same song. It was actually nominated for the salsa forums shines thing but didn't get a lot of votes. Still, I think it's fun because of the variation.

Well, it's odd but since both are common in ballroom dancing, I can say that transition fits. One that I remember hearing is ranchera to salsa, I heard ranchera switch to merengue (Manny Manuel - En las nubes, Kinito Mendez - El rey) more than I heard ranchera switching to salsa.

Another one I have (this is technically three genres) is Aventura's "Puerto Rico" song, it changes from a bachata-merengue fusion to a salsa.

I love "Señales de humo" for that exact reason.

Another one from Guerra is, "Bachata en Fukuoka" that in one part it changes to cha-cha then changes back to bachata.

More recently, whenever Guerra sings, "Como abeja al panal" in a concert, I noticed that he doesn't change to cha-cha, if not, he changes to a son montuno rhythm, which is obviously much faster than the cha-cha rhythm from the studio version.

Anymore salsa/cha-cha songs that changes to a completely different genre?
