MoTivation Salsa |
To start your salsa music collection you can buy "I Love Salsa" in the high street shops. MoTivation Salsa has a few copies of I Love Salsa and the Putumayo CD "Afro Latino" which is a good buy for the new collector / dancer. We use this in most of our beginner classes. It is apparently now out of production. You can buy other Putumayo CDs from the Global Shop, London Street, Reading and at Wildlifeonline.
MoTivation salsa has regular imports of Salsa.it CDs from Italy. There are 4 volumes - Available for £14, plus postage to a UK address only. These are really great compilations, which you should check out. Artists such as El Rubio Loco and Mazcla Latina plus many other great bands were selected by Francisco Rojos for the Salsa.It CDs and they are brilliant. Ask DJ Mo for details

The title track of the CD "RnB Latino" is very cool.

blend of New York and Cuban Salsa sounds
