I’ve done a lot of posts about Nicaraguan culture but I
haven’t spoken much about music. Not
that music isn’t important (it is), but that it’s maybe the hardest part of
assimilation to catch onto. At least for
me. Now I know most of you don’t speak
Spanish but most of these songs are pretty easy to understand the basic premise
if you watch the videos.
Jesse and Joy won best both record of the year and song of the year
at the 2012 Latin Grammys and I hear it ALL the time.
This is another popular song here in Nica which was
nominated in the same categories.
And this is probably the most famous Nicaraguan artist.
This is probably the most popular song among my age bracket
and, last time I checked, was (embarrassingly) the most played song on my
iTunes. It was in the movie Fast Five and I think based off Lonely Island's I'm on a Boat...Anyway, I see why it has 400,000,000+ hits.
Any favorite songs or someone willing to catch me up on American hits?
