Spanish music and some things to note.
I was playing a party last weekend (4+hours) and the majority of the crowd were Latin American women.
While this wasn’t my first latin gig, it was my longest. I like playing these types of gigs because i don’t have to worry about “dropping the beat” and i can just be a fancy Jukebox, a lot less stressful compared to the local bars in my area.
Bachata: slow dancing music, extremely romantic (in the 130’s) but feels it is halved.
Reggaeton: latin hip hop, (89-110)
Merengue: moderately fast music featuring a horn and percussion section, often danced socially.( 128-140ish)
Salsa: Slower than merengue, more romantic. Can be played around merengue music.(120-130ish)
bossa: Slow brazilian music, somewhat difficult to dance/listen to if it is your first exposure.(100)
these are the major types of latin music that is listened to.
If you ever play a latin gig, you can expect to play these genres and play requests.
Feel free to add or correct anything i have written.
