Salsa/Mambo Music by Non-Latin Artists

Spitfire · Oct 30, 2003

I have a fair collection of Salsa tunes by latin artists, but only a few by non-latin artists. "Hell" by The Squirrel Nut Zippers is one example and The Cherry Poppin' Daddies have one called "Shake Senora" (which is suppose to be a salsa, but sounds more Samba to me).

Any others?

Orquestra de la Luz. They are Japanese :evil:

Are you specifically looking for english versions of songs? I find that tribute albums to popular bands can sometimes be very cool and might have been made if the band is big enough.

like these ones

Here comes...el Son - Songs of The Beatles with a Cuban TWIST

Rmm Tropical Tribute to Beatles

Yes, ones done in English since as I say I have plenty in Spanish.

Latin Dance Band is a local Danish band.

Always ready for a great night with lots of energy and salsa.
Last time this Saturday.

They have written some numbers in Danish, and a couple of sound clips can be found here.

Try out west african music, e.g. Africando. Also, if you are crazy/passionate enough you can dance salsa to any 4/4 music. It depends on how far you are willing to go.

I think it would be cool to make a list of "pop" songs that have the salsa beat. I heard someone say Faith by George Michael before here. I kind of hear a bit of salsa beat in the new version of "Lady Marmalade" that went with Moulin Rouge.
Any others?

I just heard some classic xmas song in salsa versions :shock:

:shock: Over my dead body :evil: :lol: I love Lady. It is like a walk in the park for me, rather than some of the whiz around the supermarket dances :wink:

Fighting words!! Fight! Fight! Fight! :lol:

Salsa Celtica - I'm listening to a CD by them and they ain't bad.

No fight Sagitta. I just need to borrow a few moves from Sassy Hips Youngsta and I suspect Brujo wouldn't know what hit him :wink: (I am assuming that Brujo is male

:lol: )

Um how did my hips get dragged into this?? :shock:
