One night in Cuba
It's not really a night in Cuba - but it's the next best thing when you're thousands of miles away in Sydney. I don't think I'm being immodest when I say us DJs kicked out the jams (I really must learn how to say that in Spanish). I played:

• Bamboleo - La tremenda
• Maraca - Sonando
• El Zorro con Ángel - Te doy mi mano
• Manolito - Respeta
• Pupy - Timba a pogolotti
• El Pikete - Seco y guardao
• Issac - Pregón del chocolate
• Rebambaramba con Michel - Soy la noticia
• Manolito - Linda melodía
• Pupy - Dicen que dicen

And probably some others that I forget. I am really loving El Pikete's Seco y guardao - really kicks ass. "Ay ay ay, que gozadera, y ahora voy a bailar con El Pikete la noche entera" - well I would if their songs weren't so damn short. And I would upload it for you to listen to if the Snapdrive player wasn't still out of action for Mac users. David played some great new stuff, including one of Ángel Bonne with Pupy. Oooh!

Anyway, thanks to all my fabulous dance partners - I came home with feet that felt like they had been stabbed and fierce tinitus. ¡Que alegría!

If you're looking for some new timba, there is some good stuff at the Música Cubana blog - new Klimax and Tirso, among others.
