Hey everyone,
I searched the forums, searched Casa Musica's website and had a look at the dance music guide here and couldn't find any songs that I thought were very funky AND latin sounding.
Basically I am looking for Cha Cha songs that sound latin. They should preferably be a funky (key changes, interesting combo of notes and flavors in the tune) :). To give you an idea of the type of music I'm looking for..."Mira Pa' Dentro" by Carlos Jean has got an interesting mix of flavors.
Suggestions VERY welcome :-D

These are cha cha's I like a lot and they might just be funky enough for you! :friend:
I like that one that goes "baba ooh baba ooh" but don't know the name of it. Jools put it on CD for me.

The group "Orishas" has lots of cool songs.

Just listened to some of Orishas things on youtube...beautiful! I have never heard of them before, but so far I really like Hay Un Son, which I know from Buena Vista Social Club and El Kilo is gorgeous...Represent sounds like a slower cha to me, btu I'm not a hundred percent sure. I think I am going to have buy their cd :)

Don't know who the artist is, but Chilly Cha Cha is an excellent dance song.

Last Night is a great new Cha Cha song and is available on one of the new Casa Musica or WRD albums. Can't recall which one off the top of my head, but I think it's either "Time for Cha Cha" or "Ultimate Latin Album 8". I think it's the former.
Here are several threads with some pretty extensive lists of recommended cha cha songs:
