1. First and foremost focus on your tone. If all you do is focus on the sound, expression will improve.

2. I don't think about "emotion", as much as what the music (or I) are communicating. If you don't know, just pick something, like an image. See if it works and go from there. How do you want the listener to feel?

3. I think you have to be moved to move others, but you don't have to be what people think of as "emotional". Think about how you feel when you love selflessly, see beauty, or have a moment of quiet, or have fun.

4. Try listening to Paquito D'Rivera, some Cuban Jazz, or other Latin American Music (Brazilian, Mariachi, Nortena/Nortenia) to get the feel. Everything is a dance. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfgVPIa_bq8.

I found this Venezuelan playlist that looks good, and is probably more appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhkzy8fOOe0ugHFTxWxzMt8tqZqbJ8NOB

Franz Bruggen says that the most important element of music is rhythm. It includes more than the written note values.
