THE SOUND OF LAS IGUANAS

Las Iguanas couldn’t give you a taste of Latin Life without some seriously cool tunes to keep you swinging those hips. We’ve got one of the UK’s top Latin DJs adding a little spice to our music and he personally chooses every track. Our mix might seem random at times but we are trying to give you a true taste of what is really listened to in the Americas from Brazilian Samba to Cuban Mambo. Major radio stations in Latin America such as Antenna1 in Rio play mainstream international tunes mixed with authentic tracks.

Deep down we all love ‘La Bamba’ and ‘Girl from Ipanema’ and like the menu some dishes you will know and love but others you need to try. This applies to the music too; some you’ll recognise, but hopefully we’ll also introduce you to some sounds that you’ll be humming all the way home.

OUR DJ

The vast majority of this music is hard to find in the UK. Our music man djErik has the right sources, and mentions places like Fame Music and Pico in Amsterdam, Salsa Tienda in Valencia, CD baby (cdbaby.com) and even Ebay. Contact Erik djErikB@aol.com
