Africando – Dieguema
This song is sung in wolof, language spoken in a few west African countries notably Senegal. The song is about love - asking your woman not to be shy, and to get close to you. Like other love songs, it is seductively written. Showering the lucky woman with words, creating a special moment - it is bonding song between a man and a woman. I like it a lot. This track can be found on the Ketukuba album.
Ricardo Lemvo + Makina Loca - Mama Kiyelele
This is a song that brings to the front the importance of mothers in a family. In line with the African tradition and indeed in the world, mothers keep the family together. Mums have more influence over children than Dads. This song is about a child crying out to his mother for help and advice in times of difficulty - very moving. From the CD Tata Masamba.
Spanish Harlem Orchestra - Cuando Te Vea
This is a song by an orchestra band. Mid-tempo - not too fast or too slow, a good melody song, and enjoyable to dance to. It is a song about man who was badly treated by a woman. Good song. Taken from the album Across 110th Street.
Rey Ruiz - Creo en el Amor
This is a very smoochy cool song, and is a ballad. It reminds me of a few Teddy Pentagras songs. I wish salsa DJs would have the courage to play more ballads like this. It’s a true lovers song. This track can be found on the Mi Tentacion CD.
Gilberto Santa Rosa - Acechando
This track is one of my all time favourite songs. A mid-tempo song with a strong melody - guaranteed crowd puller. This is a song that you shouldn’t do gymnastic stuff to. Very good to dance to, regardless of what level you are. This track is available on the Intenso album.
