There is NOTHING like coming home from a long day at work to one of those square white envelopes in the mail. I admit it: I rip it open little kid style and run over to my stereo.My immediate reaction? This month's collection is... classic! After the warm up, the first four songs are very traditional: merengue, salsa, reggaeton, cumbia. I can't remember where I read it, but somewhere on the world wide web someone commented that recent ZIN CDs have had too much electronic music and other unfamiliar rhythms. I wonder if that feedback made its way to the home office, because this music instantly felt familiar and perfectly ready for standard B1 moves.
I particularly liked the salsa and cumbia songs early on the CD, and Vamanos Pa La Calle (merengue urbano). If I'm being honest, I thought Translation was kind of awful... not only the so-so beat, but the lyrics were just too superficial (and maybe a little too raunchy) for me.
My favorite thing about Mega Mix 43 is that Rockin' Robin is out it - how fun?! I can totally see my class enjoying it and can't wait to choreograph it. I peeked on YouTube and already found this cute routine!
What did you think of Mega Mix 43?
So far I like it, I love the reggeaton track and I agree with it being much better than the last one. I liked quite a few songs :)
ReplyDeleteJen, I haven't my Mega Mix 43 yet. I'm so jelly. All the other ZIN Japan members received their white square envelopes. What did I do to anger the Gods of AFAA Japan? (They are the organization which manages Zumba® in Japan. They also manage a host of other programs for foreign companies in Japan.) [Actually, I can imagine that I have done many things to anger them.]
