This is Reik, a Mexican pop band growing in popularity all over Latin America. "Fui", from Reik’s third studio album Un día más, is an emotional song with an intimate look at heartbreak.

Miraflores is one of the most visited places in Lima, and after watching this video you’ll know why! Good live music, good food and even better company on our fabulous trip around Peru!

Here is a ghost story like no other, where the living character seems more scary than her dead counterpart. Who in her right mind would marry a ghost? Well, Gloria Trevi explains it all in the chorus: Ella es una loca, loca, perdida.

We decided to get inside a kitchen on our recent trip to Mexico. What we found was a warm, friendly cook willing to share with us the secrets of her flavorful dishes.

Útilies. It relates to school supplies, including notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, paper, scissors… anything children need to get through the school year. Not a big deal for the middle class, but it can be a serious challenge to those of lesser means. López Obrador made it a campaign promise that útilies would be provided free to all children throughout Mexico, just as he did for the children of Mexico City while he was mayor.

Just, as immigration is a big campaign issue in the US, emigration touches a nerve in Mexico. When Andrés Manuel Lopéz Obrador ran for president of Mexico in 2006, he wanted to make it clear that his goal was to create jobs, in Mexico, so that would-be migrants would feel less need to flee north.

Yabla is in the historic center of Lima, the capital of Peru, on a national holiday and a saint’s day, no less. If you’re going to be stuck in a bit of traffic on a tour, Lima’s famous Plaza de Armas is a great place to be. There’s so much to see: The presidential palace, a 16th century cathedral and more. Come see for yourself.

You shouldn’t be surprised to find these two Italian guys singing in Spanish! There is a huge tradition of Italian singers rocking the pop charts in Latin America. Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini and Nek are some of those ambassadors of Italian pop in the Spanish speaking world!

This is a song that you don’t want somebody to hear you singing. Trust us! The guys from the Mexican band San Pascualito Rey don’t seem so friendly, but maybe that’s just because they have broken hearts.

In spite of its small size, el ombligo sometimes makes a large impression. Cubiky, a experimental electronica band from Los Angeles, were inspired to write a funky song about it.

Our top reporter stops by Peru’s capital and catches a ride with Ulises, a taxi driver/tourist guide/cop with a thorough knowledge of the city and a great willingness to share it. Ulises takes us to the Rimac area of Lima. Rimac means que habla (“that could speak”) in Quechua, a telling name for this telling ride!

The Krayolas have been around for a long time, and their work, talent and dedication shows in “Little Fox.” We warn you: this song will be stuck in your head for several weeks.

People say that you either love or hate Monterrey rock act Panda. But in spite of some criticism, they have shown that their music is set to last, and that they have the passion to make it happen, as we can see in this live performance.

At top of the Mexican Rock’s pyramid is Café Tacuba. Since their breakthrough Re (1994), they have reshaped themselves countless times. Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega, their lead singer, has a thing for changing his name. He even puts Diddy to shame! Through the years, he has been known as “Juan,” “Pinche Juan,” “Cosme,” “Masiosare,” “Anónimo,” “Nrü,” “Amparo Tonto Medardo In Lak’ech,” “At Medardo ILK,” “G3,” “Gallo Gasss,” “Élfego Buendía,” “Rita Cantalagua,” “Sizu Yantra,” “Ixaya Mazatzin Tleyótl,” “Ixxi Xoo,” and “Cone Cahuitl.” Enough for an identity crisis!

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.
