In this song, the Cuban group Warapo sings about a fiery woman who does what she wants to without caring what others think. Not unlike Frank Sinatra, she does it “her way” (a su manera).

One nice morning we found these friendly guys running around Panama while training to participate in different US marathons. One of them is the manager of a professional soccer team. These friends are great proof of how exercise keeps us in good shape and great spirits throughout our lives.

At one time or another all our hearts have been broken. That’s why we bring you this song by Puerto Rican superstar Ednita Nazario. Active since 1961, she’s learned a thing or two about broken hearts. Here’s a helpful guide to mending and moving on!

Who said that love songs can’t be fun? Even if we still don’t understand the relationship between the song and the video, we really enjoyed the adventures of this security guard in the middle of the night.

Here’s the second part of the interview with Goy of Karamelo Santo. They are among the leaders of their home country’s independent music scene (Argentina). All their records were self produced—the major labels just weren’t interested in a band which plays free shows for the unemployed and pokes fun at the international monetary fund.

Goy plays guitar and sings for Karamelo Santa, one of the best ska bands in Latin America. Argentina is the band’s homeland (they are practically from the Pampas). But the 7 boys with wild hair and wild songs do not sing around a Gaucho campfire; their sound reverberates in the world’s largest cities.

Let’s listen to more of this love story, starring a German woman and a Peruvian man on a date with destiny!
