As I recover from an injury (dancing casualty) in my apartment, I decided I should sit down and talk about things. I ended up going to a club weeks ago and hearing a song that I really liked. However, finding the song took a little longer than normal (yes, even for me). So, with that information in mind, I decided to share with you some of the techniques that I use to find the salsa song I’m looking for. I tried to make this salsa music episode a little more interactive, so we’ll see how you like it. However, one note of caution - I was taking pain killers - which is never a good thing when you have me rambling on about salsa…
- Omelenko (Silencio) - Larry Harlow
- Vamonos de Rumba - Conjunto Clasico
- Para Ochun - Hector Lavoe
- Devorame Otra Vez - Lalo Rodriguez
- Don Anastacio - Javier Vazquez
- La Cartera - Larry Harlow
- Son Para Un Sonero - Quinto Mayor
- Figure it out
- hint, it is by Sonora Ponceña I meant it’s NOT by Sonora Ponceña even though they mention ‘Papo Lucca’.
Remember - if you ever want to find out the name of a song - you can always try our forums! Please tell people about these artists and support them by buying their music.
[Update] For those dying to find out what #8 is, it was the LIVE version of Lamento de Concepcion by Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound from the album ‘En Vivo Desde Bellas Artes‘.

Hi, listen to your ep27 and i hope u can list out the songs u played in letters, i do not speak spanish and i find it difficult to pronounce the song name just by listening to you saying it
Hi anthony,
I just got turned on to this website after searching for salsa lessons at you tube. This is a great site. I still have a salsa song that I can’t find. I have a part of it on tape. I have given it to DJ’s and even salsa forum with no luck. The words say “tirando la vida entera” I taped it back in the early 90’s from a radio station. What are my other options?
Song #8 is the live version of “Lamento de Concepcion” by “Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound” from the album “En Vivo desde Bellas Artes”. This is a MUST have album for anyone who loves great salsa music played live. I usually recommend single songs from albums, but this is one of the few that I recommend the entire thing.
