It looks great! i have like 95 songs downloaded so if you want some suggestions i can post my list and you can "steal" from it (i got a few from yours too!)

Michael used to be a dj so he has all the 80s dance cds and i got quite a few from that.

Well from the top of my head I came up with:

Salsa: There so many that I can't tell you all of them.....

Marc Anthony – valio la pena, Ahora quien

N’klabe – I love salsa

Oscar de Leon – Me voy pa’ Cali, Lloraras

Sonora Carruseles – Micalea

Frankie Negron – Comerte a besos, Mi mulata

Checka, Ismael Rivera y Andy Montañez – Se fue y me dejo

Merengue: Pretty much any of their songs

Grupo Mania
Elvis Crespo
Limite 21

I'm not taking into consideration the lyrics they are pretty much all spanish, but they are very danceable( is that even a word????) anyway if you decide to add any I think your guest might like it, just for the fun of it.... who knows....
