It's been a while since I last talked about music in here — so here are my picks for the 20 greatest Salsa songs of all time, because why the hell not?
Of course, this comes from an entire life of playing, and growing up in a family of salsa musicians, so let's go
20. Celia Cruz - Usted AbusĂł.
The queen's version of a brazilian classic remains unbeatable, and the iii-VI-ii-V progression, complete with the sophisticated brass arrangements is pure class.
19. Los Van Van - Somos Cubanos.
But if we talkin' powerful musicianship, we talkin' Los Van Van live recordings.
This one has such a riveting intro.
