Good places to buy:
Disclaimer: These are the places I buy from but this is in no way an offical endorsement or guarantee.
| Napster |
They currently charge a £10pm subscription but for that you can listen to all their music and buy anything that you want to burn to cd. Average cost of £7.99 per album. |
| LatinCoolNow |
Specializes in Latin and Salsa music with 30 sec samples. You can then buy any tracks you want for 99c. |
| Amazon |
Probably the best place to buy CDs with lots of secondary merchants. Prices can range from £6-£15. |
| SalsaFever |
Salsa specialists with a good range of CDs, often to be found at Salsa events. |
| Mr Bongo |
One of the longest running sellers of Salsa music in the UK. Excellent service. And if you mention DancaLatina they'll give you a pound off!!
If you can't find it on their site just ask as they keep a big catalogue. |
Recommended Music
Okay I am constantly asked what music to buy, as these things are very much about personal taste it's never an easy question to answer, so this is a list of the music you may hear at our classes/nights. Don't blame me if it ain't your thing!
Music we use in the classes - that's if your not sick of it already!
