Latin Hip hop: Cuarto Poder - Arenita Playita

Tomorrow I will change this landscape:

To this:

And this is how I feel:

4to Poder - Arenita Playita ("MkC" Salsa Hip Hop RMX) by "MkC"

Check out the original version as well, it's equally tight.

Although, I can't understand why they emphasised the 1st and the 2nd beat of the bar, on that otherwise rootsy track. I would love to hear a proper reggae rocking version with the bassdrum on beats 2 and 4. One drop.

Anyway, no posts for a few weeks now. Holler at you after new year.

Highlife house: Ata Kak - Daa Nyinaa (Cloudy Busey bootleg)

No, I'm not sharing this awesome Ghanaian highlife tune by Ata Kak. But when I was looking for the track online, I ran into this wild Japanese afro-house bootleg remix, which really made my head nod. Check out Cloudy Busey from Osaka!

Digi cumbia/ tropical: Sonora Longoria - Remezclas

This just in. Sonora Longoria from Texas is releasing an album of his tropical/ cumbia remixes and edits. Here's a few of my favourites from his soundcloud page, but the whole album is definitely worth checking out. A special big up for the nice Manu Chao edits.

Danza Kuduro: Which one do you prefer?

Oi yoi yoi!!! I hope you get the most out of this track, because it's another one of those tunes you might get sick of hearing in a while.

But, my question is. Which one do you prefer? Lucenzo's original version featuring Big Ali:



...or Don Omar's version featuring Lucenzo:



I personally think Lucenzo could have pulled this one off as a solo. Big Ali and Don Omar do not really contribute musically to the track in any way. All they seem to to do is add market value. I reckon Big Ali's annoying hyping on the cut is to add crossover value for the mainstream market. Whereas Don Omar smelled success in the original version and by making it his own he took it as far as you can get within the latin domain. Still, Lucenzo sounds good and the production is nice. So here are both versions for you to chose from:

Don Omar feat Lucenzo - Danza Kuduro (320k mp3 Divshare)

... and a bonus merengue version (192k mp3 Divshare):
