Salsa Con Coco

Really Fernando? Do you like dancing to this? While I can deance to it, I never feel like I actually ever have time to dance to songs like this... too turbo for my dancing tastes I guess... :?

 

[salsarhythms]

The thing about Salsa Con Coco is that it really brings me
back to my country, Dominican Republic. The entire song
is about the streets of DR and I just love it...it is a fast song
though, but the images that come to my mind when I hear
it...man, I just love it.

Makes sense. I was just curious. And this thread is about "All Time Greatest Hits" which, in and of itself, doesn't always mean the most danceable songs...

Although this does than sort of tie back into the Learning Spanish thread... while one need not know Spanish to appreciate salsa or to dance it, there is something to being able to understand it as well... i.e. if you didn't understand the lyrics to Salsa Con Coco it is unlikely that it could have the same saliency for you.
