34 Gringo-Friendly Spanish Dance Songs for an Intercultural Mexican Wedding
Hola ?? I’m a gringa, and that means you know these Spanish songs are 100% authentic “gringo-friendly. ” I will be a full-time, expert, US wedding DJ/MC, and I also have actually resided in Mexico for 7 years. My hubby is Mexico-Mexican (you understand what I’m saying…a paisano! ) Spanglish may be the formal language of y our house…and we usually have music going (half their, half mine).
DON’T PANIC. PRIOR TO THE ENJOY LIST, UNDERSTAND THE RECIPE!
I do believe you ought to have enjoyable together with your social distinctions, in the place of being stressed about them. To give you into the right mindset, view the movie below showcasing the differences when considering Mexican and US music (FYI, it really is R-rated). Okay, let’s have a good laugh and proceed to tackling this example.
And so the great news is i’ve put together a fail-proof how to find wife range of gringo-friendly Spanish party tracks for the intercultural wedding. I’ve tried these tracks out numerous, numerous times…and they truly are golden. Mexicans love them. White people don’t hate them. If things get well, gringos may even dancing to those boys that are bad! Ebony individuals will dance for them. Japanese individuals will dancing for them. Yep, I’ve seen it very first hand.
BUT…before we get into the juicy variety of gringo-friendly Spanish party tracks for the intercultural wedding, you must know the recipe. Here’s the deal…us white individuals are well-known for being crappy dancers whom require to be buzzed to leave in the dance flooring (most of the time). Mexicans don’t suffer with this ailment (in most cases). Likewise, us gringos love to put it at 9:00 PM therefore we will get to sleep. The Mexicans are only planning to rock n’ roll about that time.

Tright herefore here’s the manner in which you utilize that for the best: the initial 15-45 moments of the reception should really be gringo music. The Mexicans will wait…it’s okay. Then get DJ simplicity gently into a 3-song block of Spanish music (like “Suavemente, ” “Danza Kuduro, ” and “La Vida Es un Carnaval” or that is“Bailar Deorro). No “La Bamba. ” No “La Isla Bonita. ” Absolutely Absolutely Nothing by Herb Alpert or Marty Robbins. And please no “Macarena. ” In the beginning of the block that is spanish quell the gringos’ fears by getting your DJ announce, “Cupid Shuffle coming in 10 mins. ” Phew! White people stop panicking, knowing a few more English music is appropriate just about to happen.
Go into an additional collection of “real” Spanish music following a few English tracks…start with Salsa, Cumbias, or Merengue. Save the Corridos, Banda, and Zapateados through to the white individuals get to sleep in another 20 mins. Now generally speaking what goes on is the fact that there are far more individuals dancing into the music that is spanish the English music right now (given that you’re playing the great Spanish music, right? ) So now rather than predominantly English music with Spanish music peppered in, get DJ change to predominantly Spanish music with English music peppered in.
