Hey Penguin,
Bambuco is sometimes said to be the unofficial music of Colombia. It has a beat structure similar to the European waltz or polska (not polka). Typically a bambuco piece is a folk music song accompanied by a stylized group dance in either a 6/8 or 3/4 meter.
The music, sometimes called el bambuco, is thought to be of African origin, but took a cultural foothold in the Andean region of Colombia and has spread in popularity throughout Latin America.
The only site that says the teach it, (that I could find) is Arthur Murry – which is the chain.
REGGAE CD – The self-titled Voltio followed the reggaeton artist’s White Lion debut album by roughly a year’s time, and features mostly new material alongside some of the better songs from Voltage/AC. It’s not a very marked step forward artistically, it should be noted, but it is a noteworthy step forward commercially. Reggaeton had a good year in 2005, and the music’s profile rose steadily over the year, to the point where it was getting lots of media coverage. So when Voltio dropped at the end of the year, it got plenty of notice — and rightfully so, because Voltio is one of the style’s better artists, sharing much in common with his iconic labelmate, Tego Caldern. The two are both thoughtful, serious-minded performers with styles that are rough and much more in line with hardcore rap than dancehall, Latin dance, or pop. Even so, two of the best songs on Voltio are oriented toward the dancefloor, “Chulin Culin Chunfly” and the previously released “Bumper.” Another of the previously released standout songs, “Julito Maraa,” is less so. Though driven by a nice, salsa-tinged piano riff, the song is oriented toward careful listening, boasting a cinematic street tale accentuated by a guest feature for Caldern. A long-form video had been filmed for the song upon its initial release, one of the first of reggaeton’s earnest forays into the realm of video. Relative to the best of the reggaeton albums released widely in 2005 (Pa’l Mundo, Mas Flow, Vol. 2, Reggaeton Latino, Barrio Fino en Directo, Motivando a la Yal, et al.), Voltio is solid and impressive, albeit relatively one-dimensional, with few guest features and not an especially wide range of production styles. It’s a first-class reggaeton album, nonetheless, and a promising stride forward for Voltio, who seems destined for prosperity. – Voltio at Barnes and Noble

So, we have the lovely Melanie Rivera on this episode of Addicted 2 Salsa showing us how a body roll can be performed during salsa. Note that the technique, or steps to do a body roll can be done by a lead as well (not just for ladies), but of course, probably using less lower-body-part movement. Also, I teach you how to perform a stop (very very simple salsa move) so that the ladies can do some free-style during that time.
Enjoy, this one is especially for the ladies!
