For Latin Freestyle fans only: Sa-Fire -- Don't Break My Heart (Club Mix)

I think it was more than a year ago when I had a Sa-Fire appeciation thread. At the time, I was not able to find this song on YouTube at all. I still hasn't found the album version yet. But I did find this club mix, which has most of the musical arrangements of the album version:

There was never an official music video. But THIS regional footage comes pretty close:

Latin Freestyle to me was one of the most underground-movements, mainly from NYC, with people like Lisa Lisa Full Force etc...but what destroyed it like so many other things, was wide-success, the minute a group like the Cover Girls went from being Sexy to being "ballad-eers" all was lost, and when a group like LISA LISA started flirting with Rap, case closed punch the clock.

But i love Sa-Fire, to me the ladies of freestyle Like Lisa Lisa, Sa-Fire, Lissette Melendez, the Cover Girls were some of the sexiest ladies too

You know, it's kind of funny because I've always liked the freestyle music from Miami (especially Expose) a little more often because the synth sounds were in the major scales most of the time, meaning the vibe was very happy, positive, and sunny. But yet, freestyle music from NYC has edgier synth & drum machine programming that just works within the minor scale.

In the case of Sa-Fire, Don't Break My Heart (single edit) is still my all-time favorite track because it sounds raw as if it wasn't suppose to be better than underground success, yet it's so uptempo that it needed to be on mainstream FM radio in the late-1980's. cool
