In Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans in the states, the best musicians for the genres of salsa, guanguanco, bomba y plena, has to be Ismael Rivera, Maso Rivera, Hector Lavoe, Cortijo y su combo, Rolanda Laserie, Tito Puente, and Ramón Rivera. For Cubans, La Lupe, and Mongo Santamaria come to mind. There songs are absolutely beautiful! You can't even concider their music songs, but jounries into pure bliss. Just write down their names at Audio Galaxy (http://www.audiogalaxy.com) and download their music.

My favorite are De Colores, Boogaloo, Mañana es Domingo, Mi negrita me espera, Borinqueneando, and Calispo, Bomba y Plena by Ismael Rivera

Salsa Caliente by Tito Puente.

Pura Teatro, Fever, Destino Cruel, La Reina, Pa'lante Pa'tras, Dominique, and Se Acabo by La Lupe.

Cascaracatiski by Ramón Rivera.

Meta Rumba, Watermelon Man, and Timbales y Bongo by Mongo Santamaria.

Peregrino de la paz, and La Chinita by Maso Rivera.

Download them, they are worth it!

Finalmente, someone who listens to what I listen to the most!

I don't listen to all of them, but I do know Tito Puente (D.e.P.), La Lupe, Mongo, e Ismael Rivera. I'll be sure to download some stuff by them.

I don't know if you'll like it, but I suggest you download some stuff by the Cuban great, Beny Moré (If you don't already have anything) or Francisco Ulloa (Merengue), & *Arturo Sandoval.

Beny Moré: Francisco Guayabal, Maracaibo Oriental, Me Gusta Más el Son, No Hay Tierra Como la Mia, Soy Campesino, Como Fue

Francisco Ulloa: Arturo P'al Monte, La Mala Maña, El Paquetón, La Marquesina, La Situación, El Diente de Oro

Arturo Sandoval: Waheera, Be-Bop, La Guarapachanga, Orula, Quimbombo, A la P.P.

And download some stuff by Irakere too..


Paz y Amor,

La Rainbeaux,

Thank you! I'll be sure to download some of those songs. I as well am relieved that someone in here listens to the same kind of music I do. Take care. :)
