Cha Cha Cha.
This weekend we have some tunes that have some various musical styles that all have one commonality, a Latin flavor.
One of my favorite Latin artists always had a classy, jazzy flair to his music. Here is Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass with his famous hit, A Taste Of Honey:
A perfect mix of rock and pop, with a Latin edge, is evident in this next song. Here is Ricky Martin with his smash hit, Livin La Vida Loca:
A very danceable tune blasted from night clubs everywhere is this Lou Bega hit, Mambo No. 5:
One of the all time masters of rock and blues with strong Latin influences is Santana. He has had many hits over the years, but here is the song he will always be best known for, Black Magic Woman:
Enjoy.

I have a couple Herb Albert albums in the basement. That is vinyl.
When I had an operating turntable, especially when I lived with buddies post college, it was drinking music. Usually late at night after hitting the bars. All but one of us would go home empty handed, thus disturbing the other in his attempts. Very mature.
And I almost forgot, a friend of mine played it at her wedding reception instead of the typical Kenny G crap.
Obob,
My dad had an old rel to reel tape recorder/player back in the mid 60s. Those tapes held hours of music on one tape. He had several Herb Alpert albums on one of the tapes. Along with Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Russ Morgan, Sinatra, and a host of others.
my parents have those somewhere in their attic. That is an adventure to find
Dad got that Herb Alpert album. I can still remember the lady in whipped cream as being a seminal moment in the discovery of women other than mom.
Tijuana Taxi was good, too.
