Music used in SALSAVILLE's DVD videos



Many people have written in asking about the music used in Salsaville.com's videos.
Below is some information about the groups and if and where you can find the music.

Please note that at this time, we only have permission from the music artists to use their music on our instructional salsa videos. We have not been given permission for any other use of the music, such as making the songs available in MP3 format for download. This would be a violation of the artists' copyright. So please do not ask us to send you a copy of any of the songs. (We hope to get this permission from some of the artists in the near future.)



Group name: Oderquis Revé y su Changüí Mix
Song title: "Amigos"
Music used in: all Salsaville.com videos so far (except for CM)
 

Oderquis Revé is the brother of the very famous Elio Revé. He played with Elio's group for many years, and then formed his own group.

They have released a CD called "Oderquis Revé y Su Changüí."  It contains the above song, but as a different arrangement and recording. I'm not sure where you could buy this CD.
