Really liked it despite not knowing any Spanish

"I was on vacation in Puerto Rico and stopped at a gas station in the mountains for a fill up. I saw this little car with some really catchy music playing in it. I tried to asked the gas station attendant who that was. Since he didn't know any English, he just went over to the car and literally just gave me 4 CDs. I bought him a 6 pack of beer as a thank you (beer transcends all language barriers) and started playing them. Boy was I surprised! I couldn't stop listening to them. I loved the music and after some research on Reggaeton (that's the genre), I discovered that one of the CDs is actually Bad Boy :). Having listened mostly to classic rock all my life, and lots of Indian music, I think this is a great album. Of course, I have NO idea what he is singing about (I plan to learn Spanish soon, so maybe I'll have a different review then :),but its very catchy and a terrific companion in the car or while working late at night in a dark office (yup, have been doing that for the last 3 days). I particularly like the song 'Sola'. I can see how this can, and does, serve as excellent bump and grind music in sweaty dance clubs. Its got a very catchy beat. The lyrics are supposed to be rather explicit, but what do I care?!



Give it a shot."
