Bedrock Bob 2,189 Posted May 6 Cinco De Mayo is a uniquely American holiday. As American as a ground beef taco and it does not get much more American than that. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean Spanish Music? None of these guys are Mexicans. All of this music is a product of "our industry". This is American music. It is as American as a ground beef taco. Just like Cinco De Mayo. None of it has anything to do with Mexicans or Mexico. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Bob, what I meant to say is music produced in Mexico in the Spanish language. The videos you posted it's obvious American as in North American created by its music industry. Hope it's clear now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The videos you posted it's obvious American as in North American created by its music industry. Hope it's clear now... I don't know much about Mexican music so I suppose I don't have the perspective to compare it to American music. Most of what I hear on Mexican radio is traditional polka music and romantic ballads and I am not big on either. I do like the afro-pop reggae stuff that is catching on down there though. Whether it is Mexico or the U.S. what plays on the radio is not what people are listening to for musical satisfaction IMHO. I cant understand the words to most music so the language they are speaking does not really make any difference to me. I think today's music is awesome once you venture outside of the commercial country and rock radio playlists. Now that our exposure to music is unlimited I don't have any gripes about not being able to listen to things that I like. I'm not sure what type of American music you find objectionable nor what type of Mexican music you find enjoyable. From my perspective there is a whole lot of talent as well as tradition on both sides of the border whether it appeals to me personally or not. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frank c 752 Posted May 12 Carlos Devadip has been trending latin jazz for ever. Willie Bobo and others lead the way in that era (50's 60's) Devadip followed trend and combined with rock style. https://youtu.be/oJ7ZHTLf4Og Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
