can I pick your brains for some recommendations?
a) can anyone recommend any upbeat Latin dance-pop songs/groups/artists? (preferably actually in Spanish or Portugese, but English would do too).
b) I love dancing to Maroon 5, Matchbox 20, Nightmare of You, Dave Matthews, etc., sort of semi-acoustic pop-rock stuff...but most of those songs they'll only play on day shift because they're not "upbeat" enough. (They'll play Rob Thomas's "this is how a heart breaks", "smooth" and "lonely no more", and Maroon 5's "this love" at night, but that's about it). Does anyone know of any good bands that have the same sort of sound as the groups I mentioned, but maybe a bit more upbeat/danceable?
c) speaking of Latin music...there are two songs they play at work that I adore and would love to add to my personal collection...but I cannot find them anywhere: i've looked on amazon, limewire, kazaa...even a broad google search turned up absolutely nothing. According to the DJ, the songs are "mi amora" by Club Mas, and "enamorando" (no idea who it's by.) Has anyone else here heard of either of these songs? Am i spelling something hideously wrong while searching? Obviously copies of these songs must exist because they have them in the system at work, but i can't find them anywhere, and it's driving me insane.
lastly...does anyone have a copy of, or know where to find, the club mix version of Sarah Brightman's "Harem"?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can give me anything at all :)

by the way, that was me.
for those of you that don't know, Jaime and I are roommates/computer sharers, and i will occasionally go to post on SW and forget to log her out/log myself in before posting.
Sorry for any confusion. :-[
Re: can I pick your brains for some recommendations?
Shakira, Gypsy Kings, Los Lobos, Los Tigres Del Norte.....try "JustSalsa.com" if you want the real dealio!! If you have Limewire look up Latin genre and do a search.... I'll see what I can come up with in the Club Mas dept. ... has your "Harem" song.......... Thanx for flying "Maimed" airlines!!!!
Re: can I pick your brains for some recommendations?
thank you so much! :) that definitely helps. and seriously, if you manage to locate these elusive Club Mas tracks or find out anything about them, I will be beyond impressed. I've never had so much difficulty finding a song in my life.
Re: can I pick your brains for some recommendations?
Try typing in only "enam" on limewire..... got tons of songs ....I am assuming by your description that this "Club Mas" song is maybe older like "Buena Vista Social Club" stuff??
PM me, maybe with a little more info I can help.
Re: can I pick your brains for some recommendations?
i think nightmare of you's "my name is trouble" is an awesome song to dance to and should be upbeat enough to dance to at night.
yeah yeah yeahs have some hot songs, especially gold lion and phenomena
"you're so damn hot" by ok go is a great song
weezer's "say it ain't so"
plain white t's "hate"
arctic monkey "bet you look good on the dance floor"
the streets "when you wasn't famous"
interpol "slow hands"
louis xiv "finding out true love is blind"
Re: can I pick your brains for some recommendations?
"my name is trouble" might be worth a shot; good idea :) i don't know how it works in other places, but here if you want a song that's not already in their system, the owner has to approve it. blah.
thanks for the other ideas; I'll definitely give them a listen! and Maimed, I'll try doing the first couple of letters as a search. :)
