A Taste of London
There is a show on Recipe.TV called “A Taste of London” hosted by Chef Edward Delling- Williams. It is as the title of the show says the food of London and culture. Being a native of London Edward Delling-Williams on the subject of London and the food. I love to watch a taste of London anytime it’s on. I would even watch reruns of it even if I’ve seen the episode before because it’s so enjoyable. I also like Edward Delling- Williams. He’s a personal host of the show one of my favorite cooking show personalities.

Rikki La Rouge cover album of Willy Chirino songs “en Avenida de Willy Chirino”
this is Rikki La Rouge version of ‘s classic song Canta. It was released on Willy‘s 1993 album or 92 album South Beach. My version of is a flamenco one. I think it came out really well. My vocals were awesome, me playing the guitar on this song by the way and that’s me clapping in the background too. I hope that you enjoy what you’re here. This song was included on a cover album of Willy Chirino songs that I did called en Avenida de Willy Chirino or on Willy Chirino avenue. Recording this cover album of Willie Torino songs was a labor of love and a privilege to do so. The message of is just always stay positive and anything negative that comes your way. Just keep going it will always pass and just keep singing a happy tune.

Andando en el barrio por Rikkilarouge 2021 released on the Spinnup InGrooves Universal Music Group disco con la Luna guiarme
this is a video for salsa song of mine that I did called Andando en el Barrio. In English, it means walking in the neighborhood. This was a song that I did on my last album in Spanish called con La luna Guiarme , which means with the moon to guide me. The song itself was from when I went walking in Spanish Harlem one day. I went in order to try to find this mural that was done . No such but I song that you have today. The album and song was released on spin up record label that used to be on universal music group. There’s another version of this there’s another video for this song, but I prefer this one instead. This is one of the music videos that my first music videos that I started directing myself. There are other music videos that I’ve directed and in the future, I’ll be posting them so you guys can see. The concept for the music video and the concept for itself go together beautifully hand-in-hand. The other video version for this song I’m not a big fan of it because I was really in bad shape when I recorded that one. But this one is a heck of a lot better. I’m not saying the other one isn’t good. I’m just saying I was out of shape when I shot it, though just being honest here. I really directing music videos. It’s another outlet of creativity that I found that I could actually do with success. there are other tracks that I recall that I directed just I guess you could say drafts and stuff but no. But for in the neighborhood I went with a concept of one day I was in my car and I just to recording the stores in the city streets as we were passing and it fit right there along with the music so very well. I later back at it it came out really really well. This version of the video I’m a lot more happier this version than I am with the other one for obvious reasons I don’t look that good in the other one that’s mainly a reasonable vanity but still that’s a good reason not to want that video over this one. This video was comes from footage. I took when I went to New York City and other surrounding areas too. Like there’s a mural of Tito Puente in it. I also saw mural of Celia Cruz in it that I saw that I just wanted to add in the music video too Just a shout out and tribute to two Latin music greats.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.

Rikki La Rouge Cover of Como La Flor and Baila Este Cumbia
This is a rough demo I did of the Selena song Como La Flor. Even though it’s a rough demo, it did record really well. I recorded because she’s one of my favorite all-time singers. Also, when I was in high school, I sang in a talent show, and I decided to do my version of the Selena used to open the song by doing of the course first and then so I did a studio or makeshift studio in my case version of that song and it did come out really well, even though it was a rough demo that I did and it’s only rough because the what I recorded on was not equipped for that.

Rikki La Rouge cover of Dead or Alive You spin me right round
have that song you spin me and I always liked it and so I decided to do mariachi version of . Now the music is a little louder than some of the vocals, but it really is a decently recorded track to say the least. everything I was going for as far as song goes really is there and it makes sense and it hits the mark and everything so why I decided to do an article and post it here too. This song is also in my X-rated cover playlist on YouTube. even though the song sounds like it does there really is something there and I’m not just saying that I’m the one that produced it performed it and everything else I mean, I know that I rushed it a little bit but still what I was going for is really still there in the demo itself so you can see that I had if you see if I had better recording equipment I would’ve been able to make it a hell of a lot better than what I did, but you learned to make do and stuff but every recording equipment I’ve ever used always produced really good stuff for me.

Rikki La Rouge covers Thunder by Imagine Dragons
my version of thunder by Imagine Dragons is throwback to Latin music of the 1950s. It’s cha-cha mambo. I love how intense my version of thunder by . It’s Latin music with English language lyrics. It’s tropical music Ingles. It’s got drive and intensity. I wanted to be as if not a little bit more intense than the original version of thunder by the Imagine Dragons. once again when I was recording this, I was songs that were relevant around that time and this was one of the songs that I really paid attention to I thought it would’ve been cool to do a classic Latin version of thunder and so I went for it and I’m glad that I did.

My version of Havana by Camila Cabello
This is my cover of the Camilo Cabello song “Havana”. In my version of the song i make it political and a protest song for a free Cuba and anti regime. I do a rap verse at the beginning of the song. Then I go into the song and it really gets going it’s a cha cha and salsa song. The idea I had for the song was a good idea at the time. After I recorded it I wasn’t so sure about it and I also began to have my doubts this happens a lot when I record.

The J Balvin remix contest of his song Nuestro Momento
Some time ago J Balvin and some liquor 🥃 company held a contest to remix his song Nuestra Momento. I was one of the contestants i remixed a version of the track too. My track is what I consider to be Samba electronica. What you hear with my vocals and his vocal track is call and response. I never found out who wound up winning the competition. I did win as we all did by getting the chance to at least have it heard and also just to remix a track and say that I have a version of it myself.

Merengue cover version of the shaggy Sting Song don’t make me wait
this is my version of the shaggy and Sting song don’t make me wait. My version of don’t make me wait isn’t orchestral and traditional organic jam that I decided to come up with for this one and it came out really well too. I’m proud of the way it came out. I learned how to properly do meringue by reading the musical instructions as to meringue music should be. Also, that I had was the Suavemente. Along with the music of Torino in particular, his are some of the blueprints that I order to follow along and properly learn how to construct and record meringue. I think it’s really cool the way that this this is one of my earlier meringue songs. I wanted to record this song because I’m a big shaggy fan all my I two at the time I was told to record well rather I wanted to record relevant songs in the shagging stinging song were relevant songs at the time because at that time they had just came out with a collaboration album where they recorded together and that’s a pretty cool album that both legendary artist had came out with.

Every Rose 🌹 Has its thorn by Poison covered by Rikki La Rouge
all of the cover songs that you hear here are on my YouTube playlist called X-rated . link to get to the playlist on I always had this great idea that the power metal the hair, metal ballad by Poison every rose has its thorn would make a great salsa song and so I went ahead and did it and what you hear in the track is my demo version of the salsa version in my cover of every rose has its thorn by poison. I just wanted to see pretty good. It’s a little fast yes but if I slowed it down, I realize that would sound a hell of a lot but it really sounds good at the it really sounds good. I must say.

I’m too sexy remixed by Rikki La Rouge
I forever have loved by Right Said Fred. I’m too sexy. Give me an idea of how much of a fan of this song I am I know there are so many versions of this song. It’s great. Since I like to do a little DJing and reworking songs with things, this is my version of. I’m too sexy. I call it the rose color glasses even at night remix. I think it’s a really cool trap the way I did it just to add to how many versions and remixes this unbelievably funny song about supet models is.
