Mark Anthony and Jennifer Lopez had the best performance of the American Idol 2011 finale show. Mark Anthony sings “Aguanile”, made famous by Hector Lavoe, while Jennifer Lopez dances in the background. This is probably to replay the similar scene in the “El Cantante” movie they were both in. It was great to see a female timbales player jamming it out on stage. One of the best moments of the night! Enjoy!
[Update] Thanks to the comments below and @SalsaFotoGraaf on twitter., the timbales player is Sheila E. who was trained by none other than Tito Puente.
If you didn’t catch the new NBC show called “The Sing-Off“, you missed something pretty cool. The Sing-Off is a competition which mixes the aspects of a capella singing, show choir (similar to the TV show “Glee”) and American Idol. Keeping up with American cover songs remixed into Salsa-like rhythmz, a group from my hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico, called NOTA. NOTA is the term for a musical note in Spanish. They sang a salsafied version Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” in a capella that I think you are sure to enjoy. I think they mixed the song styles very well, even including a nice big symbal-ish clave as a transition point. I’ll be waiting for their album if they keep it up!
I gave you some answers on another forum
