What I'm listening to right now...

Does it have to be salsa?
This is related to salsa via distant relationship with cuban music (clave going to Cuba, guajeo and Calypso influencing it... Yoruba influence as it went more inland) so it counts.
And one more. Reminds me of Carribean Carnival music.
 
reminds you to a conga de comparsa? in the second song i think he is using a Hawaiian electric guitar.... i used to know a very good player once
I can't control what it reminds me of lol. The over all feel (of the third song) reminds me of a band I would see playing and walking through the side streets of Havana.
I don't get a Hawaiian feel from the second song at all. Just a high life feel. Mind you I haven't listened to large amount of Hawaii music. The guitar sound is fairly common throughout the style.

i agree lol.... he could be using a regular electric with hawaiian steel technique, more to the end of the song

It very well COULD have borrowed it. Highlife kinda adopted elements of whatever was hot at the time. Either way, those songs are some of my favorites atm
 
The new changui boxed set, The sound of Guantanamo. Also, finally found a CD copy of Markolino’s Beethoven’s V album that I could afford. Now I have his two solo albums, having purchased the vinyl reissue of the so titled Angel Canales’ Sabor.
 
I really don't understand why DJs insist on playing cheesy remixes. In my scene at least, it is not like there are less people dancing whenever a salsa dura, or an authentic bachata comes on. I think this summer La Iglesia Rumbera was one of the most played songs here and the dance floor was always super packed.
:rofl:
