What is your favourite Salsa music?

I love New York salsa, but just when I think I'm really loving it, that darn Puerto Rican salsa goes on and I melt. God, there is just something in it that goes beyond means of reasoning and makes me go :shock:

It depends on what mood , time of day, day of the week, etc. I listen to all, no preference really.

I must have been asleep when I wrote this. :shock: This is not entirely true. :?

Now, there are very few new artist that I like. I own some of Marc Anthony's stuff, Son de Cali, Kevin Ceballo, Sonora Carruseles compilation CD's, etc. but my preference is leaning more toward the classic salsa. Particularly before 1985 or Salsa along that style. Hector Lavoe, El Gran Combo, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Cheo Felciano (I absolutely love his voice), Celia Cruz (the old stuff), Oscar D'Leon oh gosh too many to list. They go on forever. :D
 
I don't do genres. When I say "I like xxx", the xxx tends to be specific songs rather than blanket classifications like "Puerto Rican", "salsa dura", etc. And songs I like can be anything from what everybody would consider classics to very new stuff. It can be salsa dura, romantica, turbo salsa... I judge each song by its own merit, not by the label (genre, artist, whatever). I do sometimes say for example "I like Africando" because I like many of their songs and their disctinctiveness, but that does not mean I like all their songs.
 
Depends on the partner and the music. Some guys get annoyed with all the flash of LA, but I think that's my favorite.
 
Celia Cruz, Oscar D Leon, Marc Anthony, La India has a beautiful voice! Elvis Crespo (Suavemente) some Uruguayan singers... don't remember the names... not sold in the U.S. heard them on cassetes when I was so litte :)
 
I actually quite like the new salsa or rather mixed salsa - it brings new life to the music :)

Has anyone heard Tito Nieves's new song Ya No Queda Nada - its got a bit of a reggaeton mix in it and I think its one of the better "new" salsa.

And Sonora Carruseles ft Bimbo - Micaela and Rico Boogaloo?


What do you people think of these songs?

I've been playing them for a while - and some dancers think its weird. In my opinion - I think its quite nice to dance to it.
 
Hi Morphy! Welcome to the SF family. Happy to have you here! :D Some folks think Sonora Carruseles is wierd? :shock: Really? :lol:

Well, I like both Sonora Carruseles and Tito Nieves. Although, the only song I own by Tito Nieves is "I like it Like That" which is Cha Cha or a Club Mix depending own what version. My real salsa preference is mostly in the 70s-early 80s era. I like alot of the new stuff by El Gran Combo, Grupo Niche, Africando, Son De Cali, Spanish Harlem Orchestra...... :)

Thanks - I accidentally stumbled on this forum while goggling on salsa :)

Well the original version of Sonora Carruseles (micaela & rico boogaloo) is everyones' favourite salsa. But recently I strumbled across a version of both of those songs with some reggaeton in it. :)

Just wondering if anyone has heard it before.... and what do they think about it.


I could post a mp3 version of that Tito Nieves song if I'm allowed to. :)
 
Well... I know Tito Nieves! I have 10 albums about him! I know the Sonora too...

They aren't my preferite artist,but I love to know each artist!
