Author Topic: Looking for a nice 'latin' album...any suggestions? (Read 127 times)

I don't know how to exactly describe it, but I'm looking for an album with a summertime vibe & with Spanish lyrics. I'm not talking about rap music in case you were wondering.
Every year I go on holiday to Gran Canaria and I often hear that kinda happy Latin music, with just acoustic guitars & a singer.

I know that Carlos Santana has got a few of those nice summertime tunes, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want something even more laidback.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Buena Vista Social Club series has some good latin..
The one I like best:

In case you want to check out some hot latin rap; Delinquent Habits.

You Lookin For Like Bachata, Salsa, Reggaeton. Which Specific Type Of Music?

^^^^Well, it's certainly not reggaeton I'm looking for. And salsa is too up-tempo...What I want is something real laidback.

@ Thoughtful: I've just listened to the snippets on Amazon.com and that's indeed the kind of music I was looking for! Thanks a lot man. It can be hard to find a specific music genre when you don't know where to start looking...PROPS!

Btw...track 3 "El Cuarto De Tula" is played in Training Day

Any other suggestions are still welcome!
