Last year I was lucky enough to interview [1] several Latin artists. I asked each one of them why they thought Latin music pretty much exploded worldwide, and their answers were unanimous: Latin music is so catchy, it's transcended language barriers. Our music has the ability to bring happiness to people whether they understand it or not.
In today's world, we can all use a little extra happiness, so I've put together a list of fun Latin songs that will make you let your hair down, forget everything that's been going on, and turn your sala into the hottest nightclub right now.
The mix includes some oldies, some newer songs, and classics we just can't not dance to. From Celia Cruz to Tego Calderón, Celso Piña, and even the new generation of urbanos taking over the music scene, this list is going to make everyone in the house get up and bust a move.
