Hi folks. First time posting here, just found this board a few days ago.
So, here's the deal...I'm a Salsa dancer in San Francisco in the US. I love Salsa; been dancing for three years, been on salsa cruises, been to clubs all over the US. I love salsa.
I also love drum and bass; I have been listening to it since about 1990. I wanted to see if I could make a real salsa drum and bass track.
Now, I have heard "Latin" d&b, which to me usually sounds like regular d&b with a little but of a latin vibe thrown in, like maybe a few bongos or something. This is a remix of Frankie Negron's Mi Mulata with a little bit of d&b thrown in. I want to see what people at a salsa club I go to regularly think of salsa with a different vibe, so I made this track, and I'm playing it next week to see how dancers react.
it's real simple; it's totally just a remix of a previously released salsa song; I just wanted to see what salsa and d&b sounded like mixed together, and the results are pretty amazing. I think I'll make more of these. I made this in a few hours earlier today.
If anyone can point me to anything else like this out there I'd love to hear it. I personally have never heard a salsa drum and bass track which is why i wanted to make one.
I don't know if this is Jump-up or what; I think it falls in that category...I think its in a category of its own though.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. And props to Frankie Negron and his band for such a great salsa song.
