Mark Anthony and Jennifer Lopez on American Idol 2011

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.

Salsa Fusion: Descarga Caribe at Flavainvasion

The next video in the salsa fusion series comes from Descarga Caribe of Chicago. This performance was also from the Flava Invasion weekend, and is a combination of salsa and it’s closely related cousin: Afro-Cuban dance. I’ve seen many Afro-Cuban performances, including ones combined with salsa, but this was by far the best one I have ever seen. Enjoy!
