Many pieces of Cuban music, often belonging to the "timba" genre, use musical quotes from all horizons. Sometimes this is done as in jazz, as part of an improvised melodic solo. Other times, the quotation is fully orchestrated and becomes an integral part of the composition, without being a cover.

I have been able to identify many of them but some of them still resist me. That's why I'm calling on you.

About the 3rd one, there are multiple quotes mixed together. I already identified All That She Wants by Ace of Base and Crazy in Love by Beyoncé & Jay-Z. I miss the one made of a quite simple melody using high notes E, G and A, played by a synthetic airy sound with much reverb. The quote at the beginning of the track is also already identified as being Maurice Ravel's Boléro.
