I was raised on Latin music, but the genres I listen to wouldn't fit this thread.

some good merengue - Fulanito - Guyando

Mana, David Bisbal, Cristian Castro, Sin Bandera, Reik
my aunt came from Dominican Republic today and my friend sent me a güira!!
here's a pic i found on google


it drives my dad crazy. i wish i could play decently.

^ Merengue is practically my life because I'm Dominican. Too bad I can't dance to it.

Never heard of a güira, though. It looks interesting.

^ O_O never? and you're dominican? guira is dominican. used in merengue, bachata, etc. growing up in my family you are forced to dance. T___T i'll probably make my kids do it too. XD

learn to dance merengue (gringo style) X_X http://youtube.com/watch?v=on4V1KN_Iuw

this dude dancin merengue in the streets so cute and funny. http://youtube.com/watch?v=XMi3QIFPL1c

^ Eh, knowing me, I've seen it or noticed it but it never knew the name of it.

I know, my family (mom, grandma, countless relatives) used to try to force me to dance but then they just gave up. I don't like dancing. I'd rather sit and watch.

^ i have a lot of Dominicans at my school. were i live is mostly full of people from the caribbean.

i listen to rock,some pop,merengue(my father loves it) & very little reggaeton.
right now mana & allison are my favorites.

=0!! i want a guira. it makes a "wash-board" type sound right?

^ lol. yea. if anything just grab a cheese grater and a metal comb y dale!

I hate Reggaeton, really is the worst music ever made.

I don't listen to a lot of contemporary music right now.

A few years ago the rock escene was awesome, now everything is emo kids and the suchness, it really does suck, lol.
but I listen to a lot of rock mainstream and underground (some), mexican groups cos im mexican, tehehe.
Oh yeah Mana and Jaguares don't count. I actually dislike them a LOT. =x

And of course I listen to the classics like La Ley, Fabulosos Cadillacs (Vicentico's solo work is good), Soda Estereo! <333, aterciopelados, ratones paranoicos, and some others.

I like LOVE Ely Guerra and Julieta Venegas before going Pop ==;;. She was the lead vocal for a while in a group called 'Tijuana no' , then she went solo, if you have the chance to listen to her previous work I encourage you to do it.

From the pop side/soft music I like Alejandro Sanz and Benny Ibarra. Also Camila is a great group.

I'm a huge fan of latin jazz and Bossanova too.

And the CD in spanish im listening right now is Miguel Bose's 'Papito'. I actually like the remake of Morena Mia with julieta venegas and Si tu no vuelves with Shakira.

Mainstream Pop and Rock is lacking originality and quality (at least from my POV), a few years ago musicians were more worried about bringing some originality in their music unlike new groups that want to be My Chemical Romance or Fall Out Boy, lol.

Hey I feel like a can relate to people in other level thanks to this thread XD,
although it is kind of lonely in here, lol

-___-
reggaeton's the bestt....


anyways...
anybody heard of malacate trebol club?
its a band from guatemala..
their pretty good.. the songs on my myspace page in my sig

Oh, god, I HATE Reggaeton! I feel like I'm the only Hispanic in my area who does.

I don't really listen to contemporary either (well, aside from Elvis Crespo and no, not Suavemente). I like to take comfort in greats like The Salsa Queen, Celia Cruz, Wilfrido Vargas, Johnny Ventura, and random merengue, bachata, and salsa groups.

I have been trying to get into the rock scene because I love rock in just about every langauge I listen to (too long to list), so why not listen to it in Spanish. So far, I've run into a lot of politcal rock bands, which is okay. They tend to be ska or punk rock, though. I'd like something harder.

^^^ yea i know ppl who don't like reggaeton. they say all the beats are the same. tru for some songs.
i like Julieta Venegas - Eres para mi. yea a bit pop but she's gotta expand if she wants to stay in the game for long time

Oh, do you guys like to listen to old Mariachi bands? I can't name any because I've never ventured far into the genre, but since where I live has a large Mexican population, just about everyone has heard Tejano, Mexicana, and/or Mariachi since their childhood (even if they aren't Mexican).

The only Latin music I listen too is merengue, salsa, rock, and some pop.
I really don't like reggaeton. I mean it's ok, but after a while I get tired of it.

Some latin ballads are good too, but only the old ones.
Bachatas are good as well.

haha...i think u really are


idk...i love reggaeton


mariachi?


which rock bands do u listen to?
bachata's awesome..

yay you are not alone xDD

Don't hate on us people who don't like reggaeton ;______;

I guess reggaeton is a movement which hispanics living in the states can relate to, I don't even mind the beat (which isn't that great and pretty much all songs have the same friggin beat) but what i dislike the most are the lyrics, most are really empty and misogynous. I mean I surely beat the crap out of the guy who dares to call me 'gata'.

There is one song I actually enjoy though, 'Oye mi canto' I think its called like that.

One of my favs. Salseros are Tito Puente, Willie Colon (<33!) and Oscar D' Leon.

Random question though, where are you guys from?

ho yeah, Anyone interested in Latin Rock, you guys should try checking out the Brasil Rock Scene, is pretty good I have to say and they have some seriously good bands, I just recently start listening to some because of a friend and I have to admit I got hooked xD

^ Oh yeah, Willie Colon and Tito Puente are love.

Can you recommend some Brazillian rock bands?



Oh, you've heard of Mariachi.



Does this picture ring a bell?

cjsedthat: I like Grupo G and Los Prisoneros and others.
The rock music that I listen to is from like the 90's ad 80's since my dad listens to it.

Man, I'm another hispanic that doesn't like Reggaeton much haha.
I thought I was the only one too, when people find out they're like "OMG!! "
Some songs are ok or great, but most of it...its ehhhhhh

I'm trying to get back to listening to Latin Music...but I mostly listen to Kinky, Belinda, Belanova, Timbiriche(lol...I even see the show).(I Don't have much music though :/)
I used to listen to Latin Pop a lot but the only Latin Pop radio available changed networks(?) and the new network, I couldn't hear it so after that I was like oh well :/.

I live in an area where is mostly Mexicans so they put a lot of ranchera, corridos, etc.....and I don't like it.
But I do however like bands like Los Tigres del Norte, and Los Tucanes de Tijuana haha...

Its nice to know there is hispanics in this forum .

lmao. i don't know of anyone being called gata for real, but i guess they do deserve a beat down. lol.
when i read that Julian's song Gata came in my head.
"Gata. aqui llego tu gato. el k tenie 7 vidas para amarte acada rato. ooooooooooh..." love that song.
