Default Caribbean/Latin Music

AsSalamu' Alaykum,

Of the best in the world.

My favorites:

YouTube - J Status Roll Video ft. Rihanna & Shontelle This song isn't known to many but DAMNNNNNN is it good!!!

I am still so madly in love with YouTube - Zion - The Way She Moves . Neither the beat nor his voice is the usual played out reggaeton. Akon's part of the song is exceptional. It's just an overall sexy song.

Suavemente- Elvis Crespo What can be said? It's classic. It's amazing. It's a masterpiece. It's beautiful. It's sexy. The best.

Another favorite of mine is http://youtube.com/watch?v=yAHJZR5VChc . Incredible beat!

YouTube - BLACKOUT ALLSTARS - I Like It Like That - 1997 Oh the childhood memories. I love love love the version Tito Puentes & Barcardi came out with, it's like 5x better, I just can't find it on youtube.

YouTube - Ay Chico - Pitbull

YouTube - Sean Paul-We Be Burning One of my all-time favorite songs by Sean Paul. He's sexy, his songs are sexy, and his beats are sexy. Three for three.

YouTube - Rihanna - Pon De Replay I love the girl. She's talented, sexy, and her beats are stupid fly. At first I wasn't feeling Umbrella, but now that's my song!

YouTube - Rupee - Tempted To Touch (Video) Perfect.

YouTube - Keven Lyttle - Turn Me On ( REMIX ) Sexy. Point blank.

YouTube - nore ft nina sky daddy yankee - oye mi canto This is a fun song.

I'll post more later.

I have yet to hear a song from Daddy Yankee that is good.

And yeah, Turn Me On, is still awesome.

ooooh chica. I could show you a wicked Samba line dance for that one.

I've got lots to say but I've gotta run. To listen to Latin beats as a matter of fact haha.

I feel like a fob posting some of these but hey - anyway. They're like from those pirated DVDs you find in crowded steamy street corners. So don't watch the videos... just close your eyes and picture a sunny Caribbean beach.

Noche de sexo - Aventura con W&Y
YouTube - noche de sexo video
One of my favourite bands (Aventura with Wisin and Yandel). They're from Puerto Rico.
-er, if you're easily offended and understand Spanish, don't listen to that one.

Pa' Mayte - Carlos Vives
YouTube - carlos vives pa mayte jeje
He's a pretty cool Colombian from the Caribbean side. You can dance a really fast Cumbia to this one... but I don't know how.

Amor de madre - Aventura
YouTube - Aventura - Amor de Madre
It's a slow and sexy bachata - or it would be, but actually it's a pretty sad song about a mother forced into prostitution and her son ends up in jail (pretty deep for these guys, I gotta give them credit)


Si me dejas muero - Aventura
YouTube - Aventura - Si me dejas me muero
I normally don't like merengue, but this one just makes you wanna dance.

Vari, noche de sexo started out good, I wear feeling it, but once the guy opened his mouth I was turned off. I dislike that sound they get in their voices. It's hard to describe it. Daddy Yankee sounds the same, as do the majority of reggaeton artists

...but sexy video nonetheless

Carol Vives, sounds fun. I like, it's cute.

Amor de madre, love it! So beautiful.

I saw this one I like, YouTube - Aventura - Mi niña Cambio (No Original)

Thanks for introducing me into this group!

Wah!! and see I thought you'd be totally into Noche de Sexo. I think I know what you mean about those guys' voices though - is it kind of how they relax their consonants and sound like they have cotton in their mouths? (or am I way off? hahah) anyway, a lot of people from the Caribbean are pretty hard to understand.


Hey that's cool you like Aventura though, they pretty much set the standard for a certain kind of music. And I hadn't heard that song that you posted yet, it's good.

Here's a couple more of my favorite Aventura songs:

Obsesion - Aventura
YouTube - Aventura - Obsesion otro video
It's incredible, their mouths are actually in sync with the words. It's a funny song about some dork who's obsessed with a girl who dumped him and just can't seem to get his act together. None of us have been there before (friggin Latinas).

Enseñame olvidar - Aventura
YouTube - Enseñame a olvidar-Aventura
'Show me how to forget' - another slow and sexy one.

Here are a few more:

Magalenha - Sergio Mendes

YouTube - Sergio Mendez - Magdalenha

Some classic samba set predictably to crazy people dancing around a bonfire. It's all drums and vocals. I know this Salvadorian girl who dances so fast to this it looks like a special effect.


Hoy aprendí - Los adoloscentes

YouTube - Los Adolescentes - Hoy AprendÃ*

Fobtastic - I'm slowly realizing that one of my favourite salsa bands is the Latin American equivalent of N Sync.


El album - Los aterciopelados

YouTube - Aterciopelados El Album

I like these guys from Colombia, they've been around a while. This one is Cha cha.

I like obsession.
Sergio Mendez - Magdalenha--- AHAHAHAHA at the random skeleton guy. But I do like the beat hehe.
Los Adolescentes - Hoy Aprendí, with the name like los adolescentes, you should have figured they were the Latin NSync.


Pushpa, MDO?

And I STILL wild out with that Keven Lyttle song.

I also love, [url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=yoJrRgqSC-0]YouTube - Sean Paul - The best part of that video is when his brother Jason [mmmmmmmm ] busts out with the dances for everyone- row the bow, signal the plane, parachute...AHAHAHAHAHA so awesome.

YouTube - Damian Marley - Welcome To Jamrock: MTV Version
YouTube - GIVE IT UP TO ME - Sean Paul ft. Keyshia cole

That Keven Lyttle song is great. Memories.
First time I've seen the video though.

I hear this song on the radio all the time and I have no idea what it's called. Everytime it comes on, I turn the volume way up. Other drivers look at me like I'm weird sometimes.

The only line I remember is "I wanna take her home now"
Anybody wanna find it and post it?

EDIT: Got it. It's Take Her Home-Fito Blanko.
Can't find it on Youtube so if anybody has it, post it.
