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.
