l really enjoyed it when l was reading. Thanks a lot for this, just a few days later l will be in Sao Paulo, Brasil and that's for sure l will keep those things in mind ;))

You are right! Here in Brazil, all is amazing and fabulous! Everybody, in any moment, have seen anything about this nation, and certainly, like. i love my city, it's diferent. :))

"para mover el esqueleto" haha, I like the way you say it :)

If that is the kind of music you want, then you would definitively love music from the Caribbean area of the Americas. Countries such as my own (Chile) don't have a lot of traditional music which will make you want to move "el esqueleto" (instead there are bands in my country that copy rhythms from Colombia and Cuba). That being said, I could recommend the following "classics" of "música movida"

Celia Cruz - la vida es un carnaval (Cuba)

Juan Luis Guerra - las avispas (República Dominicana)

La Sonora de Tommy Rey - Se murió Tite (Chile)

Rodolfo Aicardi y la típica - tus besos son (Colombia)

Carlos Vives - caballito (Colombia)

I hope you like :)

Marco, I'm trying to collect songs I like "para mover el eskeleto" to do exercise to and I don't much like modern pop music in general. I would like to find songs with a more traditional flair that make you want to move. I appreciate the outline of the different types of latin music, but a song is worth a thousand words! Would you mind choosing what you personally think are a couple of the best songs from each type and posting either the name or a youtube link for us so that we can hear examples of the "best of breed"?

Thanks for the great article and thanks in advance for suggestions.
