                                                                Latin Music


   I know that many of you at Equity American school have a Gringo culture and probably never hear any other type of music besides the one's with english lyrics. I wanted you all to hear a little bit of a different type of music culture. I personally have a love for all types of music. I can listen to classical, electric, Latino and still have the same love for each. I am able to appreciate different types of modern rhythms and still listen to classical music. There are different types of latino music though, reggeaton, salsa, and other I can't really remember but the thing is this music gets you going. The feeling that this music provides is not at all like pop music and other alternative rocks. The difference with latino music and especially this song is, that it immediately makes you want to dance. For pop songs and other similar tunes, you are simply just jumping and thats the dance. With this music, it's different here you are dancing in pairs and there are moves that you must follow. It is definitely a tune for dancing, very fun indeed.  I encourage you all to listen to it and please tell we what you think, i am anxious to know.

  1. I totally agree with you Ricardo. This music does give you a way more different feeling than other types of music. Unfortunately, I'm not necessarily a dancing kind of guy, so this music isn't as effective for me, I guess.

  2. I agree with chris. This kind of music is different, and that's what good about it because after all that other kind of music that I listen to, this is something I can listen to, to listen to something different. Even though I do listen to latin music, I don't listen to it much, but I like it, it's good :)

  4. I totally agree with you Ricardo. I feel like a lot of people in this school listen to only english music and I am okay with that, but sometimes I would like for someone to sing along to a spanish song with me as we do with english music. Another thing I thought was that in the dance last year, all the songs were in English. The worst part was that they put slow songs, which I thought the DJ could have replaced the slow English songs to fast, energetic Spanish music! Spanish music makes me happy and I am proud of that haha :)

  5. I like Latin musics too. They are so rhythmic and easy to follow. I wish I could understand their lyrics better; if I did, I would listen to them much more often.

  6. Latin music is awesome! In my opinion, it's the type of music that lightens anybody up and is always nice to hear. I think it's designed to make people dance and enjoy listening to a song. Like you said, there are multiple types of Latin music and I am sure they all form part of our unique Latin culture. Good job Ricardo!

  7. I like Latin music, but unfortunately I haven't taken the time to listen to it as much as I should. I agree, like Roberto said it seems like it's designed to make people dance and move, which is pretty awesome. :)

  9. I agree with you that pop music is just jumping, they barely joy the music, they only listen to the rhythm of the music. Latin music is much better cuz u feel the music and its easier to dance it

  10. Latin music, definitely amazing. Agreeing with everyone else, it is very different and, like Arige said, that's what so good about it. It does make you want to get up and dance with a friend, or by yourself if there's no one else around. I'm love dancing so it really works for me which is why I listen to a lot of latin music. The lyrics are so sweet and they are the type of songs that some guys would dedicate to their girl. Anyway, I understand that there are some people that do not really like dancing, like Chris, so it doesn't have the same effect on them like it does on me, but it's still really good and it's nice to listen to something different once in a while.

  11. Latin music, is very good. I like the way the lyrics combine with the beat in a distinctive way. The lyrics also have a story that they relate to, making the music also interesting. Lastly, latin music is enjoyable in many different and unique ways.
