|Hector Lavoe
|This song is a patriotic ode to the singer's country (in this case Puerto Rico, but the lyrics are ambiguous enough for any country). Also, the first line contains a satirical comment (cuidado, ahi vene los abnormales!/be careful, here comes the deplorables!), showing how the singer's people are called 'abnormales' and so qualifies as Conservative, as conservatives have been called deplorables by the Clintons
|1970s

|Ruben Blades
|Emphasizes the importance of policeforce. Also, unlike liberals, takes an optimistic and Christ-centered look at life by seeing hardships as 'sopresas' (surprises). Also, the chorus sings (in English)
"I like to live in America".

|Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe
|A homage to the sayings ('refranos') of Latin grandparents, that communicated conservative values. Also underlines the importance of listening to the older family members, and your parents.
|1970s

|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML8B-m6uyi4&ab_channel=FaniaRecords "El Todopoderso"]
|Hector Lavoe
|A Spanish hymn, to the Latin Jazz tune, praises the Son, Jesus Christ, the Almighty ("Todopoderso"), and his great and powerful victory on the Cross. Tells how Christ is the only one who can save us from a self-centered, liberal, view, and how our problems in life can only be solved by Him. Praises God for his perfection, conservatism, and honesty, in contrast to people's self-centeredness.
|1970s

|"El Watusi"
|Ray Barreto
|Celebrates pre-Castro Cuba (although written in the 1960s) by telling the story of "El Watusi".
