Orquestra Cimarron |
Mambo en Bone |
Very jazzy piece.
A performance contender, but more suited to a team routine. |
| 2 |
Latin Tempo |
L.T. Mambo |
Superfast, yet very subtle piece.
I wish I had the guts to do a choreography to it. |
| 3 |
Bush y su Nuevo Sonido |
Vive tu Vida |
Odd and fast song, with several unexpected transitions.
The first is a quick breath of cha-cha. The second is the funeral march.
Odd indeed. |

Joe Cuba |
Oriza Oco |
Heard this song performed by a San Diego team in the 2004 NY Congress.
Very catchy, I just love it. |

Joe Cuba / Cheo Feliciano |
Nina |
I performed to this for the 2006 HK Salsa Festival. |
| 6 |
New Swing Sextet |
El Nuevo Swing Les Toca |
A contender for a future routine.
It kicks in at the 50th second, and then never lets you go. |
| 7 |
Ray Barretto |
Mi Ritmo Te Llama |
A song occasionally played at hk salsa club nights.
I particularly like the first minute, which just invites you to groove.

Willie Rosario |
Superman |
Takes a while to get going, but once it does...
Just the thought of Superman dancing Guaguanco cracks me up...
