Hi Folks,

Is anyone else completely unbeliveabley sick of covers?   i.e. English songs dressed up to fit into the Salsa beat?   U2, Paul McC, Michael Jackson, Fujees etc etc etc.    

When I was a newbie, they were the only ones I could actively identify the beat with, but now, I have to say I 'm sick to death of them.    

Latin dance should have Latin music !  ( so what if I only identify 'Me gusta' and 'carino/a' )     More latin, un-understandable yet unbelieveably infectious music !

Anyone else think the same?

/H.

Ahh yes, this reminds me of a thread / poll we had many years ago, "Worst Salsa Song". If i remember correctly "Lady in Red" was the worthy winner but there were some fantastic runner's up such as Summertime and Carless Whispers.

Ah yes, no salsa sucks quite as much as a bad salsa cover version. That said, some covers are better than others, and I play one the odd time just for the beginners and those who like their salsa on the "cheesey" side...
