Song Production Information

Hi~! I'm the cheerful Caribbean girl, Senórita Rica.
There are many things to talk about "Latin", but this song is from the fashionable genre called "Salsa", which was born in Cuba.
Salsa's charm is the undulating groove created by the Latin percussion, a groovy piano, and together with a powerful chorus. Your body involuntarily moved to this rhythm, so dance with me~!
Salsa is a passionate couple dance, so... From my heart, muchas gracias!
