A song for you .......

My second Salsa class went alright on Thursday, the ever-dedicated teachers gave us strict instructions to listen only to Salsa music, "in the car, in your homes" I think the idea is to let it seep in through the pores.

So while I "restrict" myself to Willie Colon, Marc Anthony, Willie Gonzalez, El Gran Combo, N'Klabe, Tito Rojas (to name but a few) .... and as Sunday now appears the day I post a musical piece on the blog, here is Herbie Hancock and Christina Aguilera from last year´s Grammy Awards. She sounds incredible, and looks like she just walked off the set of "LA Confidential". The early comparisons/rivalry of Aguilera and Britney Spears seem so crass now.

Salsa tunes will of course appear in the following weeks, as I collect some favourites and oddities - have you heard the Salsa track that uses the melody from "Don´t dream its over" by Crowded House? its not bad...and I don´t know (yet) who nicked whose tune!
