Ah, catchy songs: They get under your skin and won’t leave your head. Here Mexican pop band Reik sings a catchy song about a catchy girl—at least, Reik’s crooner seems incapable of forgetting her.

You may know the baraja española, the Spanish deck of cards, with its classic renderings of kings and knights in four suits. Our illustrator friend Antonio Vargas created a uniquely Mexican baraja with native imagery drawing from the pre-Columbian Aztec, Olmec, Toltec and Mayan cultures.

Singers Hanna and Ashley of Ha*Ash were born in Louisiana but are now based in Mexico. When they were 11 and 13, they got their first taste of success at a school talent show. Since then, Ha*Ash have gone far mixing Latin pop with country music. With a gold disc and platinum album in the bag, Ha*Ash are flying close to the stars they used to admire when they were just chicas.

Our surf-loving friend Antonio Vargas is a talented illustrator with a varied career. Here we see some of his more commercial work and some of what he does for fun—like an illustrated magazine and notebook doodles.

Can you tomar en serio a group called Circo? This Puerto Rican rock band gives us advice about how to leave behind bad moments at the speed of light. But should we trust them? What if they are payaseando?

What happens when you put beautiful and beautiful together? The amazing beaches of Guerrero, Mexico get an extra lift when Puerto Rican singing sensation Kany Garcia sings to her loved one. The song in this video is titled "Estigma de Amor"(Stigma of Love), and its lyrics fit perfectly with such a romantic setting.

Through music even the most painful memories of a cheating ex-girlfriend can be made lovely. In this bittersweet song, Antonio Villalba and Daniel Mateos, also known as En Cuero, sing about a break-up so sad even the flowers will cry when they hear about it.

In this video Goy talks about his family, his future as a musician and shares his point of view on piracy. Surely, these guys make music for the sake of music and have a great time sharing their work with the world. So, don’t be shy and take a look at this eclectic, funky and interesting band!

The guys from Karamelo Santo are not only great musicians enjoying success far away from their hometown—they’re also really humble and contribute to new bands' careers in Mendoza. They know how hard the path is, and they’re happy to share their experiences with the very people who recognized them first.

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).

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!

Chayanne sings (and dances) to tell us all about Lola, who does not sound like a nice woman. Pity the fool that stands between Lola and her shallow pursuits!

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.
