As I recover from an injury (salsa 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‘.
Now, while I’m on salsa hiatus (because of my injured hand) – I will still be attending the 2007 West Coast Salsa Congress in Los Angeles, CA (May 24th-27th, 2007). I have never been to the LA Congress (and to be honest, I heard last year a lot of people were dissapointed with the event) – but I’m looking forward to experiencing it first hand. I will be there to hopefully capture great dancers and moments, so I can share them with those of you that will not be attending.
I’m really looking forward to one of my favorite bands playing at the event: La Sonora Ponceña (as seen in the left). I think it will be a great event and hopefully I’ll see some of you there.

Now, you might notice that when I’m slow in writing articles – its probably because I’m doing something else on the website (like making a podcast – remember, I do have a day job ). Anyways, I’m pretty happy with this episode because I’m a big fan of listening to live music.
In this episode of Addicted2Salsa podcast, we take a look at some songs performed live during various events, and I’ll give you some tips how to survive dances that are at live events (with a live band). This is because live songs tend to be much longer and different than the songs you practice with.
In this Episode, here is the song list:
