[tzachi]

[youngsta]

Fruko y Sus Tesos - 'El Swing de Fruko'
Azabache - 'Batman & El Hombre Araña'

[borikensalsero]

Fast songs... Ahhhhhh.... I'm into smooth and groove dancing so fast dancing doesn't appeal to me... Not to say that a dancer can't be smooth and groove to a fast song, I just prefer not to

Here are some...
Timbalero - Gran Combo
Vamonos Pa'l Monte - Eddie Palmieri

Both overplayed here in NY, to the point that Imma jump the DJ if they play it again.

Aguanile - Lavoe -- Fast, slow, fast, slow... I'm tired
La banda - Spanish Harlem Orquestra
Sonido Bestial - Richie Ray, Bobby Cruz
Cachondea - Fruko

Get a CD by Frankie Dante Y Los Flamboyan... However, your shines repertoire better be upthere because you'll find yourself doing a lot of solo-shines... from Sabroson, to Rumberos, to Mombo Jumbo, to Beethovens V, they are all pretty wild.

If you need more by all means ask away...

[tzachi]

you have to try this song....
son boricua - muneca

very.... and i mean very fast....

[youngsta]

Speaking of Son Boricua, 'Mama Guela' is fast...not super fast, but fast.

[toro87]

You seem to know a lot of song titles. I was just woundering if you knew the name of a song that goes "toro, toro, vamos a bailar el Toro". That is the only part of the song I remember and I know it starts out really slow and picks up the pace to really fast. if you know the title please respond. it would really be gratly apreciated.

[tangotime]

Most all the titles on the" Dance Meltdown " c.d. plus 2 tracks on Ericks Exitos album-- Also , fast is a very relative term-- hope these fit your needs ( p.s. , whats the occasion ?)

[DanceMentor]

Hey, and if there are some good ones, please add them to the new music section of the site:

(and you will get a cool My Music link next your name like me) :)

[Big10]

I won't duplicate any of the songs that have already been mentioned, but here are a few more fast ones:

Quimbara -- Celia Cruz
Soy El Rey -- Sonora Carruseles
Indestructible -- Ray Barretto

I was just woundering if you knew the name of a song that goes "toro, toro, vamos a bailar el Toro". That is the only part of the song I remember and I know it starts out really slow and picks up the pace to really fast. if you know the title please respond. it would really be gratly apreciated.
Your description of a "toro" song that starts slow and picks up the pace reminds me of "El Torero" by Orquesta Guayacan -- although their version of the song doesn't contain the specific words you mentioned (and I couldn't find that phrase on Google). How certain are you about those lyrics? Or, is it possible that you heard the song from a live band who may have improvised some of the lyrics?

[squirrel]

Isn't "Soy el Rey" more like boogalu?

[Big10]

Isn't "Soy el Rey" more like boogalu?
I know there are references in the song to boogalu (just like in "Micaela"), but it still sounds like Salsa to me.

What's the musical difference between boogalu and Salsa?

[sweavo]

I know there are references in the song to boogalu (just like in "Micaela"), but it still sounds like Salsa to me.

What's the musical difference between boogalu and Salsa?

Imagine someone who grew up playing salsa and cha cha cha music heard motown soul and thought "****! gotta update my sound!" (but in spanish obviously :-) )

Lots of Latin Boogaloo sounds like a '60s soul sound with added Latin percussion.

Boogaloo (without the "Latin" part) is related to blues and boogie, but that's outside of my range of interests so I don't know how they relate, if at all.

[sweavo]

Mama Guelo by Fania Allstars is not pure salsa but it's quick... so quick various precussionists can't keep up at various points... lots of energy!

Que Bueno Baile Usted by Tito Puente is quick, and starts with a timbale solo - guaranteed to get me up dancing!

[Melip710]

I am looking for a good, fast salsa song with alot of beat changes, and bangs. something loud and with alot of energy. I need it ASAP! Thanks ;)

[PsychoSalsaGuy]

Aguanile by Marc Anthony on the El Cantante album

[maddtapper15]

[yippee1999]

Fuego a la Jicotea por Tabaco y Ron ...uno de mis favoritos!

[Ray Sison]

I like "La Casita del Amor"... (I'm a Mambo dancer, so I "break on 2". *lol*)

[matty]

Mama guela - spanish harlem orchestra


also recently found this one

:applause:
conjunto los magnificos - compay gato

[urish]

Naming a few more, this time REALLY fast ones:



Oye mi canto – Yakki Famirie – 133BPM
Baila mi conga, Vacilala – Afro cuban jass project – 160BPM

For comparison, the song Aguanile somebody else mentioned here is around 120BPM... so the last one is 33% faster ! Let's see who is capable of dancing to this rhythm.

[Ray Sison]

I like "Castigando"--by Jorge Herrera...

[Ray Sison]

Also: "Nena" by Aguaballa...

[ColumbusSalsa]

I DJ some at a Salsa night in Columbus, OH and these are some of the really fast songs I play (I know, some of these will be repeats to the topic, but I want to give a complete list of what I've got so far):

Aguanile - Marc Anthony
Salsa Con Coco - El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico
I Love Salsa - N'Klabe
Amor De Agua - N'Klabe
El Rey Del Timbal - Tito Puente
Mama Guela - Fania All-Stars
Ariñañara - Fruko y Sus Tesos
Boogaloo - Fruko y Sus Tesos
Salsa Caliente - Tito Puente
Zoom Zoom - N'Klabe
Cuero No Ma - Sonora Carruseles
Arranca En Fa - Sonora Carruseles
La Malanga - Eddie Palmieri
Ta' Bueno Ya - Albita
Plena Con Sabor - Spanish Harlem Orchestra
Baila Como Es - Tito Puente
Bemba Colora - Celia Cruz
Quimbara - Celia Cruz

For the person that mentioned Baila Mi Conga, Vacilala, that sounds like a GREAT song, and I plan to add it to my songlist. Here are some fast Merengues and other stuff that you may wish to add to your collection as well, particularly if you are hosting a Latin dance party:

El Colin - Fulanito
El Cepilla - Fulanito
Ajena - Fulanito
El Pollo - Amarfis
Meto Mano - Amarfis
Carrito Rojo De Carrera - Silvio Mora
Quien Es Fulanito - Fulanito
Wiggle Wiggle - Fulanito
La Dueña Del Swing - Los Hermanos Rosario
El Palo - Los Hermanos Rosario
Desde Ponce - Anibal de Gracia & Batukealo
Medley De Plenas de P.R. - Anibal de Gracia & Batukealo

If anyone has more suggestions I would love to know, I am always looking for fast songs to play.

please reply i need your help.... :)

Personally, I don't like the super fast salsa songs like that too much -- I would much rather dance salsa to a song that is just fairly fast. But I do know of some very fast salsa songs to add to the list:

Mambo King - Tito Puente (about 242 BPM)
Salsa y Sabor - Tito Puente (about 236 BPM)
Federico Boogaloo - Sonora Carruseles (about 228 BPM)
Descarga Espectacular - Fruko y Sus Tesos (about 228 BPM)

I think you must have timed these songs for 30 seconds instead of 60, because the actual BPMs of those songs are about twice as fast as the BPMs that you give for them. Aguanile is about 240 BPM, Oye Mi Canto is about 264 BPM, and Baila Mi Conga, Vacilala is about 324 BPM. I think very few people, if any, will be able to do a good salsa dance to Baila Mi Conga, Vacilala or Oye Mi Canto.

Well, this is a long standing debate - whether one clave cycle should be written over one or two measures, I have seen musicians count in either, so aguanile can be 120BPM or 240BPM, depending on the way you count. Dancers usually prefer the two-measure clave though.

Indeed, dancing good to fast music is quite hard, but it is good to challenge yourself from time to time, and it can also be very much fun...

Another one that just popped into my mind is Welcome To The Party by The Har You Percussion Group... I remember having heard it in one Salsa performance clip, I think it was of Al Liquid silver... long time ago

[ColumbusSalsa]

For the really fast songs serious Salsa dancers are best to learn Cali Style Salsa, sometimes referred to as Colombian Style, which has very fast footwork and is primarily specific to Salsa dancers in Cali, Colombia. For slow, medium, and semi-fast Salsa songs dancing on 1 or on 2 (which I see as more of a personal preference or whatever is popular in your area, I dance on 1 myself) works better. I don't actually dance Cali Style, but I have been able to follow Aguanile on 1 and I watched a video of a professional couple dancing to Tito Puente's El Rey Del Timbal on 1, so it can be accomplished.

Does anyone have any opinions on "Mujer Latina" by Thalia? I have seen the song mentioned in other listings for fast salsa songs, but I am not sure if I want to add it to my regular list of songs for the venue I DJ at.
