For some reason everywhere I go I hear the same song. It's in all the bars, all the clubs, even on people's cellphones. Not just as ringtones either, in the buses sometimes people will take out their cellphones and play entire songs, annd usually this is one of them.
It's called Dimelo, which literally means Say It To Me, although there's an English version of the song called Need To Know. The singer's name is Enrique Iglesias, a Latino superstar who apparently grew up in Miami although he was born in Madrid. The girls are all crazy for him and apparently his so famous he's getting cast in Hollywood movies now.
But the genre that seems most popular with the youth here is Reggaeton, a sort of Carribean sounding rap/hiphop genre but with a Latin twist. It's very danceable and reminds me of dancehall. If you've heard of Daddy Yankee, that's his genre. Another big name is Wisin y Yankel but if you don't like rap and hip hop I wouldn't bother with either of them, it's not a particularly gentle style of music.
