Hey all, im playing an event this saturday that has just requested a large ammount of "Cuban Music".
Do any of you have any song suggestions, or any points in the right direction for aquiring this type of music? Unfortunately i have none.
Artist names, and song titles would be great, along with any ideas on where i might be able to buy some compilations at the local cd store.. i would hate to resort to *gasp* downloading if i can avoid it.
TIA!

Tell me do you mean Cuban music or Latin music. I mean Cuban music is just for the Cuban people, but you might have people from Columbia, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, I need more info. I will be glad to assist you anyway I can. I need to know what other Nations will be there other than Cubans. I am Cuban myself so that will be easy for me but how about your other guests?
Answer these for me.
1- What type of event?
2- What Nationalities will be present?
3- Where are you Located?
I need this Info to give you a good list for your event. |

I would say:
Celia Cruz
Tito Puente Jr.
Hector Lavoe
Ruben Blades
Willie Colon
just off the top of my head....
throw in some:
Illegales
Fulanito
Suavemente by Elvis Crespo
Maria by Ricky Martin
I'm brain farting on the rest, but I suppose Freddy will be able to fill in the rremainder once you define the parameters of "Cuban Music"
My guess is that you mean "Salsa/Merengue", anything that carribean latinos will dance to! |

this is a "cuban themed" live auction fundraiser night. most of the people will be white, or asian, and a few mexicans... all in the 30-40 age range, all married, parents of children. the fundraiser is for a school
they want some "cuban" and i use that term loosely, or latin music to go along with the theme of the night.. i need a few hours worth to pepper in with soem older rock, and top 40.
does that help?
thanks again,
Matty |

Thanks for the points in the right direction!
I ended up purchassing 2 albums at Barnes and Noble
I got:
"Cuban Nights"
and "Cuba - The Greatest Songs Ever"
the two sang to the tune of $35.00 tho :( Ouch!
Wish me luck! 6 hour gig tonight! :shock: |
