We have covered that subject several times and just recently. Do a search for Latin Songs or Latin Music and you will find some I am sure. Also find out what Genre of Spanish Music, it makes a difference. Is it South American, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican?????

 

[mikemerlin]

Mexican and I did a search and got spanish line dances lol

A lot of those will also work. There is a list , a long one, on here that was posted. Just keep looking and also check You Tube "Mexican Dance Songs". Cumbia is a favorite Dance for Mexicans such as this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw3e3alOYdI

Mexican music is very regional. What is popular in Texas is not in AZ. So make sure you are getting the right region.

glad to seepeople tasking heed to Latin music differences,.

I would put myself out on a limb on this one. If the audience is varied, it may not matter as much as if it is a dedicated Ethnic Group such as purely Mexican. I have done Brazilian parties and played Tejano Music and it was well received. I have done Mexican Parties and played Salsa and Merengue and it was well received. For a Wedding which will have a mixture of ethnic groups, a sprinkling of the best Latin Music would suffice. When a Client wants specific music, they will ask for it in that manner. For instance a hard core Mexican may ask me if I have any Cumbia, they certainly won't ask me if I have Spanish Music. That does not mean to say they won't enjoy dancing to a Tejano Polka. I think the OP will do well to get a good sprinkling but if in doubt, he should ask the Client.

Here was a listing of a wedding I did last year....I will add, Mexican people like to dance. They pretty much rocked out to anything. I tried to keep things pretty equal, but their songs were very long, so I was playing like 2/3 to 1, which they griped about a bit until I explained what I was doing. Pitbull was huge! By the end of the night, they were teaching all the 'whities' how to dance to the Mexican music.

Randy...good music list. Yes, it is difficult to keep each grouphappy! Nice play list. Thanks for sharing.

 

[mikemerlin]

Hey Randy that is a great playlist thanks for sharing. They want some Spanish music here and there (I am currently narrowing down exactly what the preference is of the people who will be attending) From my meeting I am gathering that the groom's side (spanish) are the dancers so I want to make sure I'm ready in the event I need to mix it up more. Thanks again

 

[DJ Freddy]

BTW non of those songs above are Mexican.

 

[TwinSpinDJ]

ditto on what you said about clarification. I will incorporate that into my wedding planning when there is a Latin connection. Thanks for the concept, Nephew.

Glad I play just music that Australia plays and not Ethnic types


people want that, then they can look elsewhere

Glad I play all types of music. It was a Dj photography package which netted 2,500. Aussie Aussie!

Btw, thanks to everyone here for their input. I sent over the list ranking the various types of music (thanks DJ Freddy) and that was a good gauge. However I'd say the biggest help by far was having them put together a list for me. They gave me about 25 songs which I went through. From there it was an easy matter of integrating them into the playlist in terms of tempo. Turns out his family side was Puerto Rican (my bad) Wedding was last night and it was an absolute blast. Mixed in a little of everything from Don Omar to Prince Royce to Gangnam Style (HUGE response) At the end of the night a guy from the groom's side straight up offered me $100 to keep going. He didn't understand that venue's just don't let DJ's "keep going" lol

I have a friend that is a Mexican and a DJ when in this situation I usually just hire him to help out. It cost a few hundred dollars more but he also brings his 3 books of CD's and uses the player in our system. Most of the time this rocks it. I love making a profit, but I love the word of mouth even better (It makes me more money). I'm ok when it comes to Mexican music. But I would rather be better.

And you call yourself a DJ. LOL. You beat people up on here all the time and you have the nerve to make that post.

Watch yer mouth Mix! Ole Dennis has a Salty for a pet, he just might decide to put it in your bathtub. I heard that Salties can really scrub your back!

Yeap I would expect that from a DJ that has been in business for over 60 years. Way to go dude your attitude is top notch! Congrats and have a nice day.

This right here is an example of the problems we have on forums these days, people don't know when to pass a thread if they don't have anything positive to add to it. They should learn just to keep their trap shut and their itchy fingers from the keyboard. If you have nothing positive to add people, don't add nothing at all.

I was glad I can help as any fellow DJ shall. It is awesome that it turned out great as many Latin folks know how to party. Congrats.
