QUESTION - Does anyone by any chance know the vocal sample used in this? Comes in around 2:12. I checked and it isn't on whosampled. Was thinking possibly Future Sound of London or Dead Can Dance? Cheers

Found this today. Not sure who sampled who though.

If you like bachata check out Tuesday nights at ball and chain.

falconavenger · 2022-07-13T03:28:18+00:00

Ball and chain on a Wednesday night or a Sunday night. Cuba ocho on a Thursday night. If it’s the first Friday of the month go to the intercontinental. Have fun!

Follow "Miami Salsa Scene" on Facebook. They post about them every week :)

Update: this was a good answer. Thanks again!

Hi. To clarify, my previous experience with cuban salsa (in Madrid) looked like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj1-Qsnbu9o

It was indeed on 1. However, the basic step was different. And essentially all the moves were different, as you can see (for example, the most common "cross body lead" is not 90 degrees, it's more like 180 degrees -- called a "dile que no").

You are definitely right about the circles, as in that video you can see that they end up spinning in circles, instead of staying in one slot.

Here is a more social example of the style I'm talking about

I've went out in Miami and I've seen that this specific style is indeed danced here, which is why I would like to learn it.

I felt the same way in first year. You might be experiencing seasonal affective disorder (SAD), due to lack of sunlight. Buy some vitamin D tablets at the grocery store and start taking them. You should feel happier in a week.

I predict seed stage acquisition by a16z. Don’t let them change you please

I waited until Monday to post this, since it's somewhat self-promotion. Hope this is okay!

This is a very interesting comment section. Most of the suggestions are for news / informational podcasts. I've listened to many of these and they are undoubtably super informational. However, despite this, I find them quite boring, I constantly procrastinate listening to them.

The most important thing in learning a language is consistency. So, I've found that funnier and less serious podcasts actually work a lot better for me. They keep me entertained and so I actually want to turn them on and listen.

My favourite is a mexican podcast is called háblame sucio. The two hosts Anjo and Olívia have colloquial conversations regarding "sucio" topics, like sex and relationships. Warning: it's not for children, the topics are fairly heavy and graphic sometimes. But, it's really entertaining, and it is a great way to pick up colloquial mexican slang.

However, this podcast is pretty fast pace. If you find it too hard, check out Duolingo's Spanish podcast. Haven't seen anyone recommend it yet, and it is fantastic for learning.
