Salsa open diary

Isn't that also the trend at European festivals and marathons?

I've not danced there, but I hear it is yeah.
As a Dura fan I can't help but feel a little sad. But really, I like variety. It makes you a more well rounded dancer, varies the mood of the night a bit more, lets different preferences have their moment etc.

Hilariously I just got back from an event in a big town, and my friend and I commented on how much we love the mud tempo music now. We fel fast salsa are for self indulgent wankers.

I dislike when a DJ plays too much of any genre. Some DJs play too much of fast dura and some play too much of mid tempo (found that especially in Europe). It is like food either having too much sugar or too much salt.

I like DJs that can play variety of music and read the crowd. Crowd doesn’t know what it wants until a good DJ comes along.

I prefer when the music flow is just right - hard dura, mid tempo, a few romantica and bolero son type numbers, and cha cha.

I generally hate old tinny virtuosic songs with lots of breaks, super fast mambo or Colombian. So I am happy with lots of timba and mid tempo or spritely.

Keep in mind that 50 years ago people said recorded music was soulless, now ai music is soulless. Maybe this ai revolution will return people to live music more.

50 years? Are you sure about that? Vinyl sales were at their peak 50 tears ago. Maybe they said it 150 years ago when phonograms first appeared as they used horns to record music but that changed once the electrical microphones where invented and audio quality improved dramatically.

Music will always exist, but when recorded music appeared the amount of live music shrinked and when AI takes over then the amount of human music will shrink. Maybe music will even get "better" (hard to define), but it will change definitely. Human musicians need to get payed and can only deliver a new album every two years, but AI has no restrictions.
