Latin Music


I took a trip to South America a few years ago and I loved the music that was played in the night clubs. When I asked about it, I was just told it was Salsa and not where it was from. I figured that style must be Cuban music so I started listening to some Cuban music and I watched Buena Vista Social Club. Don't get me wrong; I like that type of music, but it didn't have the feeling that I was looking for. The music I had heard sounded like there was a female vocalist (sometimes male, but rarely), male backup singers, and many, many horns. This description probably matches many styles of music, but perhaps someone could recommend some music that fits.

Definitely sounds like Salsa to me with the horns, decidely not Samba, AT ALL. Brazilian music (Samba included) is unique to itself and as varied, posssibly more so, than music in virtually all other cultures.

Examples? I don't listen to Salsa but have a Reference Recording called the "Blazing Redheads" by a 7 piece all female group. Whether this is a good example of this genre of music maybe someone else could tell us? Sonically great, musically, wanting, IMO.
