Samba Song Selection - your fav?

[Auntie Crazy]

Hi, everyone! Hope y'all are well!

So, I've taken the plunge.....I'll be doing my first showcase in early December, and I've decided to do a Samba! :D

Now, I need a song. I want something fairly new, fresh and sassy. I've looked at the list here and I kinda like Stella Soleil's "Kiss Kiss". It's fun and it'll amuse the audience, as my instructor's 23 and I'm 42. :raisebro:

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Hello,
Boy this is the first reply I have sent. I'm a newbie, hope it goes through.
I don't know if you like Shakira, but if you do there is a song on her CD "Laundry Service" called "Whenever, Wherever". It's a really good Samba Song. I am partial to Shakira, as I have seen her in concert. If you want a spicey flair to it I think the song is also avaialble in "Spanish". Many of her songs sound even better in her native tongue.

"Everything I Can't Have" - Robin Thicke
"It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)" - Michael Buble (a little fast)
"Dum Diddly" - Black Eyed Peas

Good luck!

I like "Mas Que Nada" and "Hips Don't Lie", both of which are on the Latin Music 8 CD.

I also like "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani, and "Get Busy" by Sean Paul.
