Popular Latin?

[djhipnotikk]

hey guys, i'm calling all the people that are into latin music (reggaeton, bachata, cumbia, pop music in general). i have a gig next week for a halloween party, and along with hip hop there is a large latin crowd that will be in attendance. i've tried to immerse myself in it quickly, but like with anything it can only come over time (that i don't have). i used to be up on my reggaeton, but the most i know now is that aventura has a new album o_0. so if anyone could give me a list of new/classics that would be well received at a party, it would be immensely appreciated. no list is too long! :P

[JesC]

Pop/classics:
Belanova - bailia mi corazon
Magneto - vuela vuela
Regheria - Vamos a la playa

Cumbias:
Los Socios de ritmo - la bota bota
Fito olivares - aguita de melon, el colesterol, Juana la cubana, el chicle, tu maquinita,
Sonora dinamita - Carmen, bailame suavestia, pie cuanto me lo das, a mover la colita, escandalo, mi cucu
Celso Pina - cumbia sobre el rio
Celia Cruz - la vida es un Carnaval
Acento Molina - cumbia sampuesana
Elvis Crespo - suavemente, tu sonrisa

Merengue
Clímax - mesa que mas aplauda
Fulanito - sepilla sepilla, guayando,
La makina - mujeres lo bailian bien
Los hermanos Rosario - moviendo la cadera or duena del swing
Oro solido - la morena, la de la tanguita roja, el baile del beeper

Latin house:
Armand van helden : rumba
Artie the one man party - a mover la colita, esa nena Linda
CZR - banda musik
El general - ya tu sabes
El presidente - café con leche
Saint john - agua

Reggeton:
bomba lo que paso, gasolina, otra noche, el gato volador.

Hope this helps out.

I've been on the look out for more cumbias colombianas, let me know if you have any. This was a pain to do from my iPhone! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

dude used to date a colombian that had me on those cumbias all the time :/ couldn't tell you any though, it's been a while. but thanks a lot for the help, i was hoping you would see this :P

[JesC]

Yeah no problem, I'm stuck in bed for the next couple of days. So I'll be on djtt 24/7. I have a dark cumbias mix on imeem.com/djjesc

[djhipnotikk]

dude you have my condolences for whatever is keeping you in bed. I'm very interested as to what dark cumbias are :P and want to see an example of mixing cumbias, so thanks for the link brother

[JesC]

well here in l.a., in the 80's new wave or goth/industrial scene. They play cumbias, and call it Dark cumbias (cumbias colombianas) to make it seem like there not playing paisa (ghetto mexican) music. Blah!

Two more songs that I forgot to add

Caifanes - Negra Tomas
Los Fabulosos Cadilacs - El Matador

[djhipnotikk]

man i'm totally stressin this now because i feel like they're going to be able to tell i don't know what the hell i'm playing, what's good and what's cheese, you know? it's not mainly a latin music event, so i don't need a hell of a lot, but at the same time i don't want to just play the overplayed stuff. i'm grabbing your suggestions though to avoid this, i just wish i had paid more attention to the scene now :P
