Top 10 '90s Salsa Hits (part 1)

In this third episode of our series of Salsa hits from the 70s to the present day, before bachata and reggaeton took hold, this week we bring you our pick of the biggest Latin dancefloor hits of the 1990s. By the '90s salsa romantica was in full bloom with artists like Luis Enrique, Tito Rojas, Victor Manuelle and Jerry Rivera making things easier for boys on the dancefloor everywhere! Cool boy bands like DLG shook up the salsa scene, from Colombia Orchestra Guayacan were injecting their own flavour and the sweet sound of Cuba's Isaac Delgado was defying the blockade to rock the dancefloors of Miami, while the artists of the 70s like Ruben Blades were entering into mature pastures, with a full bodied sound and ever-meaningful lyrics. Together these titans of melody and Caribbean rythmn were providing fertile ground for the emerging superstars such as Marc Anthony. If the 70s and 80s were the golden age, the 90s were the glory days, a decade that produced so many hits that we had to make two lists, not just one. Here is part 1 of Salsa Hits of the 90s
