Preach man! Lol. I love listening to two local radio stations around here that play Latino music when I'm in the car. I'm not good at Spanish so I don't know the words or artists but this year there wasn't indeed any songs that I remember being played that seemed new and were in the playlist often. I'll have to get some recommendations from you though for some artists that make good Bachata music. Love that stuff! I bought a truck many years ago and the guy I bought it from was Latino and he left his CD's in the truck when I took it. I didn't notice it for about 6 months so at that point I don't remember who it was so I could give them back so I listened to them and loved it! I don't know the songs, artists or genres of the songs but since then I'm always trying to figure it out so I can get some of the songs back lol. I love the songs that have that small guitar in it, at least it looks and sounds small in my head. Not sure what it's like in real life.
Let's hope 2020 is the bottom of the barrel for the rest of the decade. We can go up from here, I hope!
Lol! You made me remember when I sold my car in the States because we had to come back to this hell. I was sure I had gotten everything out of it, but then I remember some of my favorite CDs were left behind. I hope the lady I sold it to had the same good impression and enjoyed the music.
We too love bachata. Juan Luis Guerra was for decades the best representative of the genre. He turned his music a bit religious after a conversion, but he kept it lively and clever. Of the new guys Romeo Santos has produced some great songs that apeal both to the mature audiences and the young kids who are more into the sexualized music. Those two on the top of my head, but again, it has been a low year for good latino music and for much of what we expect from life.
Let's see what 2021 brings (it did not start well for venezuelan politics. history teacher will have a hell of a time trying to explain childen 50 years from now what they hell we were doing with this country).
