Latin Songs for Halloween...
A Selection of Spooky Tracks from The Latin Music World

Latin music has lots to offer for every occasion and Halloween is not an exception to that rule. From El Gran Combo's "Brujeria" to Orquesta Zodiac's "Panteon De Amor," these are some of the Latin songs that are usually played during the celebration of the spookiest day of the year. If you are planning to organize a Halloween party, this playlist will definitely take your ghosts, vampires and werewolves to the dance floor.

"Brujeria" - El Gran Combo

El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico has been producing good Salsa music for more than half a century. From love and the meaning of life to food recipes and Christmas, this popular Salsa orchestra has touched all kinds of issues and topics with its music. Besides the popular hit "La Muerte" (The Death), "Brujeria" (Witchcraft) is one of the band's best tracks for a Halloween celebration.

"La Llorona" - Chavela Vargas

This hugely celebrated Mexican song is the most mysterious one in this playlist. Although its origin is unknown, many people believe this song deals with a heartbreaking love story. In spite of this, and mainly because of its title, this track is often linked to the famous legend of La llorona (The Weeping Woman) that has inspired so many scary tales for generations. No matter what, Chavela Vargas' version is one of the finest pieces from the repertoire of this iconic artist.

"Tango Del Pecado" - Calle 13

Apart from its irreverent, spooky lyrics, this Reggaeton song is one of the coolest tracks in this list for hitting the dance floor. If you are looking for a nice beat for your Halloween party, "Tango Del Pecado" (Tango Of Sin) will do the trick. This is also one of the very best songs ever released by the popular Urban and Alternative band Calle 13.

"Ave Lucifer" - Os Mutantes

I have to say this classic tune from the Brazilian band Os Mutantes is not only one of the most alternative tracks in this list but also one of the spookiest titles of it. This is mostly due to the psychedelic sound of its melody and unique lyrics. If you want to listen an alternative version of this song, the Agentinian band La Manzana Cromatica Protoplasmatica recorded a nice one for the tribute albums to Os Mutantes El Justiciero, Cha, Cha, Cha.

"Sortilegio" - Aterciopelaos

This is, in my opinion, one of the best songs from Aterciopelados. "Sortilegio" (Spell) features the original Punk sound that defined the beginning of Colombia's most popular Rock band. The lyrics of this song talk about a magical elixir where you can find things like urine from a black frog, holy water and a stone from the street. The aggressive final of this song is fantastic.

"Black Magic Woman" - Carlos Santana

If there is a song where Carlos Santana's guitar sounds just plain good, that song is "Black Magic Woman." Besides the memorable melody, the lyrics describe the effects provoked by the magical powers of this enigmatic, magic woman over her victim.

"Hombre Lobo En Paris" - La Union

All of those who grew up during the Rock en Espanol revolution of the eighties and early nineties will probably remember this classic song from the Spanish band La Union. If you are into werewolves, this is the perfect song for you. From a full moon and the streets of Paris to the werewolf and the female victim on the song, "Hombre Lobo En Paris" is a Halloween track that has it all.

"Panteon De Amor" - Orquesta Zodiac

Believe it or not, this hit from Orquesta Zodiac was written 40 years ago by Angel Laureano. Besides the cool Son of the melody, "Panteon De Amor" features one of the spookiest intros you can find in Latin music. Recently, the popular Salsa singer Victor Manuelle recorded a funky version of this song for his popular album Me Llamare Tuyo. This is definitely a perfect track for a Hallowen party.
