The month of love is coming, and nothing better than accompanying those moments with good music. Latin music has always been loaded with romance, passion, heartbreak, and despite that each of the listeners feels identified with the lyrics, and moves to their rhythms. Added to the great artists, both the active ones and those who have already left, there have been songs that raise the level due to the union of two of those singers. In this article we tell you about the most romantic duos in Latin music.

These are the most romantic duos in Latin music

Marc Anthony and La India – Vivir Lo Nuestro

One of the most popular salsa songs at the start of the new millennium. This work launched both singers to stardom. To this day it is a song that many couples definitely identify with, with lyrics like:

“En una noche cerrada

Voy a detener el tiempo

Para soñar a tu lado

Que nuestro amor es eterno”

The eternal love between both parties, the desire to shout to the world how much you love your other part, and that there is no obstacle to stop them, is the message they want to give.

“En un mundo sin razas

Sin colores, ni lamentos

Sin nadie que se oponga

En que tu y yo nos amemos”

Despite the resounding success of the song, and the boost it gave to both their careers, they are currently not on good terms, which shows that although the song is loved by its fans, and speaks of a love without barriers, external factors can end a relationship, be it friendship or professional. So it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting a fresh, live version of this romantic classic anytime soon.

Maná and Rubén Blades – Sábanas Frías

This is a combination that few expected back in 2002, but Blades has never hidden his desire to collaborate with many artists. On this occasion it was the Mexican Rock group Maná, who had the great opportunity not only to mix the talent of the group with the great Panamanian artist, but also the fusion of two genres, rock and salsa so characteristic of Rubén. 

The song talks about how lonely a person in love feels, without their other half living under the same roof. So as the track progresses, he invites his love to live together, to take care of each other forever, and share everything.

“Y te cuidaré por siempre y donde quiera

Te amaré como uno quiere a su bandera

Yo te quiero compartir todo, todo mi amor

Te comparto mi cuarto, mi cama, mis besos

y todo, todo amor”

This is one of the emblematic songs of Maná Revolución de Amor album, released in 2002. As its name indicates, it is totally dedicated to love, that’s where Sábanas Frías came from, but nobody expected the collaboration with Rubén Blades to bring that tropical sound so typical of Panama.

Eddy Herrera and Liz – A Dormir Juntitos

Merengue is another genre that does not escape love, and one of its hymns is A Dormir Juntitos by the Dominican singer Eddy Herrera, who invited the Venezuelan Liz, known for having been part of Los Melódicos, so that both of them could mix their talents in this song.

If you take a look at the lyrics, it’s not completely a love song, but more about heartbreak, since it talks about a couple who are separated, and although they still love each other, they can’t sleep together again. 

“Y yo te veo

A través de la ventana cuando te vas

Y llorando me dan ganas de decirte, quédate

Por qué estamos durmiendo solos

Si nos seguimos queriendo

Si nos seguimos amando

No dejamos de lado el orgullo y volvemos”

Víctor Manuelle and Oscarcito (Yakozuki) – Si Tú Me Besas

Puerto Rican singer Víctor Manuelle is well known for the romantic lyrics that make up his songs. For 2011 he worked with the Venezuelan producer Oscar Hernandez, better known as Oscarcito or with his new name Yakozuki. This is how Si Tú Me Besas was born, a song that was originally covered in 3 versions for the album Busco Un Pueblo, so you can enjoy the song in salsa, pop and ballad.

“Bésame despacio

Y no se te ocurra dejar libre

Ningún beso ni ningún espacio

Con ese cuerpazo

Dame el privilegio de viajar hacia el espacio”

The lyrics talk about the experience of kissing your partner, and everything that this awakens in both parties. It not only talks about the feelings that arise from a kiss but also that you can forget the world through it. There is a fourth version of this song, although it follows the salsa genre, it is sung by both Víctor and Oscar, which got more followers in many countries.

This is just a small glimpse of all the great duos that Latin music has given us over the years. Without counting all those who will come, since the new generations show more and more talent.
