| Speaking of Latin music. What gets your toes tapping? It is a bit old now, but I still love a bit of Cara Luna by Bacilos and Mi Primer Million. Mana have some great songs. There is so much great stuff. What does it for you guys? |

I love love love Lila Downs. Her mother is Mixtecan, her father Minnesotan. She her background is opera and jazz. She does traditional Mexican songs with a twist as well as oringinals that are best described as jazz-pop-latin-folk fushion. Awesome voice, great supporting musicians, fabulous listening, especially live.
There is also a Mexican band called Los de Abajo That I like. Kind of Rock-Mariachi-Ska.
I also really like trova, not excatly toe tapping, but heart soaring. |

Almost as scary as Guy, I really like mariachi. In fact its one of the things that brought me to Latin America in the first place. 
Like Melee, I also like trova. Diego Torres is great for songs that are just so dang cheerful, and I like Julieta Venegas too. Its weird, because I can't stand most pop music in English.
Something I never admit here in Colombia, but I really can't stand Shakira.  |

I like pretty much all salsa and merengue music, makes me just want to get up and dance. I like Juanes, especially his album "Un d�a normal."
Not really a fan of reggaeton, but pretty much any other Latin music. |

I know what you mean. Even the name sucks. How dare they sully the name of reggae with their 'imitation hip-hop'. |

I love raggaeton!
This song is great; from the Dominican Republic. It uses a combination of old and new instruments:

Esta cancion is huge in the clubs now! A dancy-Spanish language track:

Afro-Brazilian is also great to get down to, Sergio Mendes has a huge hit with his song 'Magalhena':

I enjoy Mariachis but find often their lyrics are overly corny and sad. Salsa is OK, but after listening to a few songs they all sound the same! |

I love Juanes, Reik, Cumbia Kings... and reggaeton, it gets me movin'!
Another type of music that I listen to is Salsaton, a combination of Salsa and Reggaeton. It's a strange but cool combination. |
