Last weeks 6 month celebration was marked well with a group of us going to the capital Managua to see Calle 13 in concert. Calle 13 are the current kings of reggaeton.
Reggaeton, originating in Puerto Rico, is Central Americas music of choice and whist popular in the US it´s yet to have much impact on European markets. Look it up on iTunes if you fancy, however I imagine most of you will not become instant fans. To be honest last year I hated it. On coming here second time around I continued disliking it but all of a sudden I have become a fan. If you can´t beat them join them.

Along with reggaeton the more familiar Latin sounds of Salsa still heavily influence day to day life and along with Bachata and Merengue the hips have taken on a new life of their own.
Dancing will never be the same again..........
