DJ Ian F - R&B Salsa
R&B Salsa has become very popular in the UK over the past few years and is a term covering a variety of styles of Salsa, which have been influenced by R&B or Hip-Hop.
Artists like Alex Wilson and Crystal Sierra produce Salsa which has been influenced by R&B. These include some of the biggest of these sort of tracks in recent years, such as R&B Latino (by Alex Wilson) and Playa No More (by Crystal Sierra).
Coming from the other direction, artists like Lenny Kravitz and Eric Benet have taken their usual style of music and added a Salsa twist to it. These are usually one-off tracks, like Lenny Kravitz's Thinking of You, and Eric Benet's Follow Me.
Another type of music in this category is the Salsa remix, where a popular track has been remixed in a Salsa style. This has been done recently with Michael Jackson's You Rock My World and Sean Paul's Get Busy.
The final type of music in this category is often called Salsa in English, where a song is re-recorded in a Salsa style by a Salsa artists. Popular examples of this include Lady by Orqesta la Palabra and Lovely Day by Rudy B.
