Free Music Notes for Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
Free Music Review: songs you can dance to
Hit: 4 Stars
The Dirty Dancing Havana Nights Soundtrack brings in a new combination of music that includes African-Cuban rhythms to Latin Ballroom beats. Each tract brings in a beat that makes you move.
Tract One: Dance Like This by Wyclef Jean featuring Claudette Ordiz, starts the album off with an outrageous beat that makes your heart pound.
Tract Two: Dirty Dancing by the Black Eyed Peas do a tremendous job to make this song come alive with a combination of Spanish and English lyrics. Dirty Dancing is such an appealing song to dance to.
Tract Three: Guajira (I love U 2 Much) by Yerba Buena is a song I can visualize hearing it in a Cuban night club. This artist did a wonderful job with this song.
Tract Four: Can I Walk By song by Jazze Pha featuring Monica gives a touch of pop music to the mix. It has a good beat and a wonderful balance between the artist.
Tract Five: Satellite by Santana featuring Jorge Moreno is a Mexican style of music. If you've heard of Santana, then you probably already know what the tract sounds like. With Satellite you can almost get off your feet and do the salsa.
Tract Six: El Deso Den Final by Christina Augilera has the softer side of music in the album. She does an amazing job to make this song very peaceful sounding.
Tract Seven: Represent, Cuba by Orishas featuring Heather Headley is a Cuban rhythm that makes you melt with every second of it.
Tract Eight: Do You Only Wanna Dance song by Mya is the Latin Ballroom dancing for any age. Just grab your partner, look deep into their eyes and move to the beat.
Tract Nine: You Sent Me by Shawn Kane brings in a 50's song that doesn't fit with the rest of the album, but works well with the movie itself.
Tract Ten: El Estuche song by Aterciopelados is truly the Latin music for those who enjoy that style of music.
The last two tracts on the album are Spanish versions of Do You Only Wanna Dance and Satellite. I personally don't like these versions compared to the originals, though they work well to bring for different styles of music to listen to. The overall disc is one that I enjoy listening to while driving down the open road. With that I rate this album four stars.

Hit: 5 Stars
"DD Havana Nights has it all: a coming-of-age tale of an attractive young couple; a setting of lush tropical nights and 20th-century political havoc; a cast that includes supportive parents (unusual in a story of young love) and dazzling singers, dancers and musicians from multicultural and multiracial backgrounds; and the sharp contrasts--softened in warm Caribbean colors--of the prevalent class consciousness and economic disparities--all of which frame the beauty of love and the beauty of the dance.
Our star-crossed lovers are Romala Garai's Katie Miller, a recently uprooted, brainy high school senior from the States, and Diego Luna's Havier Suarez, a wise young waiter shouldering the burden of supporting his family. Having inadvertently caused Havier to lose his job, Katie suggests they earn money by winning a dance contest. Her sassy sexiness and bright delight, along with his strength and passion surface in their dancing. Her movement and gestures mirror the physical joy and emotional willingness of an adventurous adolescent woman, his illustrate a strong restraint as well as a desire to embrace all that his partner offers. Both yearn for the physical freedom that will set them on the path to other freedoms--those of choice, opportunity, and hope for the future. And, both are supported by their families who are somewhat bemused by the situation.
This second DD has more of a global outreach with its Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin ballroom scenes and with a 'disappeared' parent and a parent working for a multinational corporation. Havier's family's crowded inner city home is contrasted with the Miller family's spacious apartment. Spanish dialect and 1950s costuming bring reality to the story. Oceanside scenes--especially in a silky beach cabana--bring in the natural beauty of the setting and of the young lovers.
For those of us who feel forever connected to the long-lived DD#1, the revival of Patrick Swazee's role as a dance instructor is elegant. He provides a pause as Katie and Havier move through their steps, toward their final performance. He also provides the insights that allow the young lovers to get to know each other's bodies and figure out not only the dance but also their strengthening relationship. The tale moves toward a parting that is both sweet and sad. Katie and Havier, however, have danced the dance. They will always have the dance and the dancing as will we--the DD fans.
