Guitarras de Baile is the third volume by guitarists Edgar Cruz and Ruben Romero in a series they call Greatest Hits of Latin Guitar.

Their first two CDs were recorded with just two guitars but this new edition adds percussion (Joseph Martinez) and bass (Edgar) and gives the project more of a dance feel.

Songs include...Mambo Jambo, Begin the Beguine, Guantanamera, Copacabana, Frenesi, Estrellita, Piel Canela, Entre Dos Aguas, Quizas, Quizas, Quizas, three originals...Samba de Familia (Cruz), Ruben’s Rhumba and Cancion del Novidades (Romero).

Edgar Cruz says, “These are songs both Ruben and I grew up listening to. It was are pleasure to add some southwest flair to these selections.”

Review from a fan:

"The guitar playing is fabulous and I am going to have to rearrange Quizas, Quizas, Quizas as my version sounds pretty lame anymore. I mean when Otmar Liebert came out I thought his idea of fusing flamenco with rhumbas and new age nuances was pretty good, but to me this knocks him and Luna Negra right out of the water. The only song by Barry Manilow I've ever liked was that Chopin knock off he did "Could it be Magic", but you all even make Barry Manilow sound good with Copacabana." - A.C. (Pensacola, FL)
