It’s not strange that a heartbroken lover asks for five more minutes. It’s a sad scene, usually with its share of tears and humiliation. Five more minutes, please, a last chance to explain and ask for forgiveness. And that’s the only thing that Mexican diva, Gloria Trevi, is going to concede.

"No Puedo Verte" (I Can’t See You) is a perfect title for a band called La Gusana Ciega (The Blind Worm). But this video is not about visual handicaps; it’s a testament to the painful sight of a long lost love in new caring arms.

No is a big word. Well, it has only two letters, but we all know how powerful it is. Ednita Nazario, here featuring Natalia Jiménez – lead singer of La Quinta Estación – wants to change her life, leave the past behind, close that door, finish that chapter. And there is only one way to do it: putting together a little “N” and a little “O.”

Aleks Syntek (born: Raúl Alejandro Escajadillo Peña) assumed a last name short for sin teclados (literally, without keyboards), a handle given by a friend from whom he had asked to borrow a synthesizer (looks like he bought a few since then!). This Mexican artist is well known for producing and writing songs for others as well as releasing his own records.

Even if Orishas left Cuba looking for new fortunes, they never forgot where they came from. In Nací Orishas, they’re singing to the same streets where they grew up.

Amparo Sanchez – a singer and guitar player from Spain – is not afraid to mix genres, geographies and influences. On her band Amparanoia’s website, she explains: “My paranoia is music and the idea was to mix rhythms and styles, taking enjoyment from the rumba to ‘ranchera’, or the bolero and ska…” (Of course, Amparo + paranoia = Amparanoia.) Listen to 2006’s “La vida te da” and hear the Afro-Cuban rumba interpreted by this talented Spaniard.

"No me tientes" (“Don’t tempt me!”) is both a warning and a plea in this song from Yabla favorite, La Gusana Ciega. Despite the lyrics’ drama and the high-speed car chase, we are pleased to report that no one was hurt in the making of this video.

Panda, also known as PXNDX, is a Mexican band located somewhere between punk, indie rock and pop on the musical spectrum. Narcisista por Excelencia was the first single of their 2006 album Amantes Sunt Amentes, “Lovers are crazy”.

Cosas de Críos, or “kids’ stuff”, is a friendly song about those bygone times when our world was nothing but a fantastic playground.

World famous boricua Ednita Nazario was once just another six year old watching a Ponce ball game. By chance a line drive flew right into the glove she held before her. The crowd went wild, and that crowd just happened to include a big record producer, who was even more impressed when she offered him a song.

In this concert at their natal Guadalajara, Belanova wanted to showcase the local talent. That’s why they invited a local group of musicians for this song, imparting a new sound to one of their best known hits.

These guys are partially obsessed with stardom, or at least with astronomy. Now they’re talking about “el núcleo de Belanova,” the core of their energy.

The kings of Alternative Reggeaton, Calle 13, are well known for their smart, fast and funny lyrics; they disrespect anybody and everybody. That’s why "Un beso de desayuno" is a surprise: for the first time we are tempted to leave off the viewer discretion sign in a Calle 13 video!

Pepe Aguilar is an American singer of Mexican descent whose parents were legends in Mexican show biz. At the ripe ol’ age of 5, Pepe made his singing debut at Madison Square Garden, at his father’s side. And while he admits to crying with fear, Pepe must have enjoyed himself: He became a regular member of his dad’s band and then launched a solo career.
