Continuing last week’s article of Latin cover song remixes, here is more popular remix that is now being used by many salsa choreographers in their performances. This song mixes the famous Coldplay “The Clocks” with the cha-cha-like style of the Buena Vista Social Club.
Thank you to Randy for sending this in.
Bloch is carried here as well,...
Fabulous version. the kiss version by Prince is fab for cha cha cha too. can’t get hold of it though!!
Good cha cha cha….nice version….I love cha cha!!!!!

BTW if anybody here knows who did the remix of the Cold Play song please provide a link or name of remixer. Thanks!
Tried again the link to download the ColdPlay remix… and it stll doesn’t work…keeps connecting and going nowhere. Any other link? Tks. Keep up the good work it’s very motivating for “newbies”.
Well I tried to access another title and forgot it… and after a good while…I heard something… So I suppose that’s the price I’ve got to pay for really useful Salsa music. Tks.
Correct title is: Rhythms del Mundo feat. Coldplay – Clocks
It is from the famous Rhythms del Mundo album made with musicians of the Buena Vista Social Club and was very popular in the Billboard World Music charts in 2006. Also see:

It is a charity project so please buy the song from Amazon or iTunes or the whole CD in a store and delete your download link above.
Thanks for the info! I updated the link so others can buy the song.
Worth getting the whole album! Had this a while back, and always enjoyable to see different artists takes on other people’s songs (making Joe Whiley’s Radio 1 Live Lounge sessions (at Maidavale?) so good – if only she got them to do more Latin style!)
