My Favorite Songs of 2009
I wanted to continue with the tradition since last year I gave you my favorite songs of 2008. Here you will find a mashup of R&B, hip hop and Latin music! A little late but hey we’re still in January! Of course I had to add Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind (“Brooklyn Stand up!”) and I am in love with Rihanna’s song Hard which is playing as a ring tone on my phone. How can you not love the lyric “I’m the baddest chick in heels right here!” And what’s not to like about Keri Hilson? Loves! Of course, Jlo’s Loubitons is my favorite (if not only) song of JLo’s! Shaki and Lil Wayne made a hit! And Aventura….goodness what can I say? *sigh* The song with Wyclef and Luda rapping in Spanish is just hotness. Have a listen and tell me what you think! Here’s to a great musical background for 2010!
Latin Christmas Songs!
I love this time of year when the coquito starts flowing and the Christmas tree is all lit….but I can do without the snow.
Here are my all time favorite Latin Christmas songs and albums. Perfect for playing while decorating the arbolito/tree! Feliz Navidad!
1. Burrito De Belen is my favorite. I even have it as my main ringtone for the whole season until El Dia de los Reyes/Three Kings Day. And you can get three different versions: The Aventura bachata version, the Juanes
version or the original
.
2. Christmas wouldn’t be complete without Noche De Paz!
3. Of course there’s Feliz Navidad. Check out this Feliz Navidad Salsa version!
4. The whole Feliz Navidad NY Latin Allstars CD is absolutely great! It’s favorite Christmas instrumentals set to salsa music! A must in any Latino household.
Enjoy!
New Music: Rafely Rosario Me Libere
Anyone else merengeros? I have been trying to find some new merengue music to perk me up. I’ve been listening to reggeaton a little too long and as much as I like it I need a break from it once in a while. Bachata is a little too mellow and sad for me and I seem to grab on to the mood of the song I’m listening to. Merengue just makes me want to dance in my chair! Well, I found new merengue from the son of legendary merengero Rafael Rosario from Los Hermanos Rosario. The song Me Libere is hot! He gives merengue a young take kind of like Aventura did with Bachata. The song is basically talking about a breakup but he’s happy to be free of her. In one part he says “Lloro de alegria” (I cry of happiness). It’s a fresh new take on merengue as well as a breakup song. If you like merengue, you must add this song to your collection! It’s off his CD Tiempo. The music definitely is in the genes with the Rosarios!
Song Review Tony Dize Solos
I love Tony Dize he’s the romantic in reggeaton. I love romantic songs with a nice beat. Tony Dize has such a smooth voice and his new song Solos Ft Plan B does not disappoint. I’ve had some good luck with new music lately. I’ve liked everything I’ve heard! That doesn’t happen much. It’s a very slow and smooth groove and I love the way Plan B sounds. It’s different but sounds a bit retro and early 90’s to me. The game effects are cute too. Solos Feat. Plan B is definitely a download! And also check out Tony Dize’s album La Melodia De La Calle
. I do prefer the update ‘do compared to the braids on his last album! Just wish we can get a full view of his face on his album covers!
Extra Tony Dize song…oldie but goodie Quizas off of the Los Vaqueros album. "Tu en mi buscas venganzas yo a ti busco un sueno" Quizas amasta a que no debiste amar." Excuse me while I swoooooonnnn!

I love music! My musica is one of those things I’m addicted to and can’t get enough of. That’s why I always keep those free downloads on my sidebar for you guys!
I’m not a music critic or anything but I do want to share my favorite songs of 2008. I have a very eclectic music so you’ll find Amy Winehouse and Daddy Yankee on the same list. You may not find that on other lists!
I love this Amazon player because it shows you not only the album covers of the songs but you can actually preview the songs I like and purchase if you like them. Also you can listen and let me know what you like and don’t like. You might find your next favorite artist on my list!
What do you think about my list? What do you agree or disagree with? Also did I leave anyone out? I love music and talking about it!
What I’m Currently Listening To
The way that I love you…I love this song it’s the best song yet of Ashanti. She’s a great songwriter.
Kat De Luna-Run the Show…love this song too very upbeat and of course got to support my fellow Dominicans! I love the spanglish!
Amy Winehouse-I’m no Good…I absolutely love this song. It’s so retro and she’s got such a beautiful voice. I love the big band feel she’s got it’s so different from anything else out there.
Ne-Yo and Rhianna-Hate that I love you. I love this duet.
Sheek Louch-Good Love…I like this song. It’s different.
Rick Ross-The Boss…got to throw some rap in here. My hubby is a huge hip hop head. I just like the way he says “I’m the biggest Boss that you’ve seen thus far”
Alicia Keys-Teenage Love Affair. Another different sound. It takes me back to HS!
Tito El Bambino-Me Tiemblan Las Manos. It’s only two minutes long but I love it. It’s a mix of bachata and Reggaeton. And nothing beats a love song.
Huey Dunbar-Las Noches. I love this song. To death. It’s produced by Aventura and it is so beautiful. He’s got a beautiful voice and the guitar is just amazing on this song.
Aventura-Romeo Y Julieta. This is my all time favorite song. It is so well written!
Here are some lyrics: Todavia no ha nacido otro hombre que pueda enamorarte. (There is no other man that can make you fall in love)Si antes de inventarse el amor, ya yo te estaba amando (Before love was invented I was already loving you)
Ni el amor de Romeo y Julieta llegó a ser tan grande. (Romeo and Juliette’s love never became this big.)
Te voy a ser sincero y confieso, no te miento: Te extraño. (I’m going to be sincere and confess I’m not lying I miss you)
mira mis ojos, convenceme que ya tu no me amas, (look at my eyes and convince me that you don’t love me)
Y entonces si, no te haré mas canciones, no diré mas palabras. (And if it’s true I won’t write you any more songs I won’t give you any more words)
En tu diario se conserva la historia de dos enamorados (Your diary tells a store of two people in love.
It just makes me swoon. I absolutely love this song. My all time favorite!
Going over this list I realize my choices are all over the place! Any songs you like as well or want to share?
