Top 10 Salsa Hits since 2010

While at a commercial level, during the last two decades, it may seem that reggaeton took over and there were fewer new salsa albums and salsa bands touring. Reggaetón produced more money with less effort. But those who loved salsa kept producing salsa, and some amazing tracks were released, and the commercially successful salsa hits of all time. Those who kept producing salsa, their time has come as, all over Latin America, salsa is the music that is still played on the streets, brings families and friends together, and gets people dancing. These are the tracks we enjoyed over the recent years.

Vivir Mi Vida Marc Anthony (2013)

Arguably the most streamed salsa song of all time and Marc Anthony’s biggest anthem. A salsa version of the international hit C’est la Vie by Algerian singer Khaled, this song is pure musical joy and dancefloor gold.

Carro de Fuego Guayacán Orquesta (2015)

One of the greatest salsa orchestras of all time, Guayacán saw a huge resurgence in the 2000s and haven’t looked back since. Teaming up here with Puerto Rican vocalist Jan Collazo, this track has become a modern classic.

Ras Tas Tas Cali Flow Latino (2016)

Propelled to global fame by James Rodríguez and the Colombian football team, who danced to it every time they scored during the 2014 World Cup. This was the breakout hit for salsa choke, the urban-infused salsa style born on Colombia’s Pacific coast. A genre-defining banger.

Agua Que Va a Caer Tromboranga (2012)

One of the most loved salsa bands on the global circuit, Tromboranga has built a loyal following among dancers and hardcore salseros alike. Their no-frills, hard-hitting style shines in this breakthrough hit that became an instant classic pal bailador.

Pasaporte Alexandre Abreu (2012)

Straight from Cuba, Abreu (an already accomplished trumpet player) made his international singing breakthrough with mis magnificent musical piece, putting together some great arrangements alongside some hard hitting lyrics about life in the island. He has not stopped touring the world since!

Baja Guaco (2014)

Nothing stops a musical powerhouse from producing music, and these Venezuelan heavyweights have such a strong internal audience Guaco has consistently pushed the boundaries of salsa, without depending on international fame. Baja is one of their most commercially successful tracks, blending reggaeton with their signature “Sonido Guaco” to stunning effect. A perfect example that great music knows no genre limits.

Corazón de Acero Yiyo Sarante (2016)

The Dominican Republic has a rich history of producing great salsa vocalists, and Yiyo Sarante is the latest standout. Corazón de Acero is his signature hit, racking up over 350 million streams and cementing its place as one of the most popular salsa songs of the last decade.

Camina Como Yo Rene Alvarez and the Cuban Combination (2017)

Singer and bandleader Rene Alvarez has become one of the most recognisable voices in European salsa over the past decade. This track is his signature anthem—there isn’t a Cuban salsa night on the continent where it doesn’t get played.

Tú Con Él Rauw Alejandro (2024)

Unlike Bad Bunny, Rauw opted for a straight-up cover, paying homage to the iconic Frankie Ruiz. While Rauw may lack Ruiz’s legendary swing, he brings plenty of charisma, helping reintroduce a salsa classic to a new generation.

No Te Puedo Olvidar Bad Bunny (2025)

What happens when the world’s biggest pop star records a salsa track with young musicians from his native Puerto Rico? You get a viral hit that introduces salsa to millions of new ears. Catchy and deceptively simple, this tune proves salsa is far from dead—it’s just evolving.
