Typical “Estilo Colombiano” or Colombian style Salsa! La Suprema Corte is old skool, but I love this style. As the ‘parceros’ would say… “Si señor! Arriba Colombia hijueputa!!!!!!!!!”

With that said… the Song of the Day today comes to us from a group I wrote about once before.  Africando, also known as Africando All Stars are a talented group of musicians from Senegal.  These guys have some serious Latin or African flava!!

I guarantee that if you like Salsa and you like to dance, this song will make it’s way into your playlist!

He has smooth Victor Manuelle-like vocals and the music is outstanding. I’ll let you take a listen and judge for yourself. The following is NOT the original video, but rather just a few pics over the track.

The song has kind of a slow, piano solo beginning and then goes into a soft vocal intro. Once you get into the chorus, however, you will be singing and moving your feet for sure.

It starts off with a really cool track of a sort of Middle Eastern sounding voice in a typical type of chant with a classical acoustic guitar and bongos in the background. Domenic has more of soulful almost R&B type of voice, not typical of this genre, but does a really nice job with the vocals. This is a very popular song at Latin dances and a favorite for couples :)

Hope you like it… here is “Ven Tu”

You’ll have to pardon the corny, sappy video, but this is a true classic. A couple of friends of mine used this song as their first dance at their wedding. Another couple really made this song memorable for me though… Jorge and Melissa, if you’re reading this, I loved watching you guys dance this.

Tito remakes this song and gave it a style all his own… this guy has some chops! Most songs, especially salsa, fit into either the “great to listen to” or “great to dance to” category… this one fits well in both! Here…check it out yourself and feel free to dedicate it to the one you love…
