Salsa/Mambo Music by Non-Latin Artists

Marc Anthony's English songs are good. Ruben Blades' English songs bug me, though. Somehow seem contrived to me. Lou Bega(Mambo #5, I've Got a Girl, etc) is fun to dance to. There's a song "Salsa en Ingles" by Miguel Oscar y la Fantasia that's just plain ODD. Orqesta de la Luz is now defunct and is now Orqesta de la Sol.

I thought they'd got back together -- a friend of mine went to their (De La Luz's) concert in Tokyo in February this year. Or have they split again?
 
I could be wrong on that Macmoto. I just picked up the new "Salsa 120%"(salsa mag in Japan) and there's an article on them so I'll read up.
 
McMoto!

Is Salsa Celtica a style well known in Scotland. Or ist it (just) a group?
I happened to find a website and have listened to the band called Salsa Celtica. I liked it!

It's a band. And a good one at that !

I recomend their CD :

And on that CD, this song : "Maestro"

Kilt and pure malt are compulsory ;)
 
I will buy their record. ASAP!

And as you already know I love men in kilt :wink: . I also love whiskey...but not when dancing salsa 8) .

The Celtica boys rock! 8) My current fave is Ave Maria De Escocia medley. Fun song to dance to with a versatile lead.

The title track from the album, El Agua De La Vida, is great for a party -- another kicking "kilt and pure malt" track, this one. :D
 
'Smooth' from Santana's album 'Supernatural' is a funky slow mambo/chachacha. It was issued as a single here in Europe and was a chart success. Don't know about the USA, though.

It's in English and was written by Rob Thomas and Itaal Shur.

I agree - I just love Smooth by Santana & CO. The guitarsolo is one of the best I know.

You are sooo right about the guitar solo (by Carlos himself! :D ) Though the whole band are great.

It also proves that fast isn't always best.

There's always Boogaloo of the 60's for English Latino songs.

The 1 im thinking of is:

Pete 'El conde' Rodriguez - I Like it like That

:!: I was just thinking of this song last night and trying to find it in my Dance CD case! Thanks! :D Yeeeeeaaaaaah baby!
I found it on Living La Vida Mambo by the Mambo All-Stars.

The whole Santana Supernatural CD was a huge hit in the US a few years ago. Smooth is a great cha cha, too!

cha cha cha :kitty:
