I wouldn’t have believed it myself. Only in my home city of Rio Piedras in Puerto Rico, do we give our inmates a free salsa concert with big name celebrities! Bobby Valentín “Returns to Jail” 35th Anniversary special on February 2002 at the “Oro Blanco” (White Gold) penitentiary. The song is called “Muñeco de la Ciudad”.
As the video below clearly shows, this trainer should probably get psychological help and we need to provide this dog a new home. Just because the song is ‘El Baile del Perrito’, which means ‘The Dance of the Small Dog’, doesn’t mean that you should train your dog to merengue dance in order to get a treat.

No matter which political group you may affiliate yourself with, you have to give major ‘props’ to our President for being able to get down with some Latin music, dancing and partying. He will probably be one of the most rhythmically skilled Presidents we’ve had in forever. Make sure you watch the second video: you can see Marc Anthony dance with Jennifer Lopez, the President dancing with his daugther and later, his daugther playing the timbales. Here’s to hoping they’ll visit our website someday! The videos are after the break.

While we may have a long ways to go, salsa is definitely becoming more mainstream in India. A few months back I ended up experimenting with my life by renting my first full bollywood film. While not the best film to be encompassing of the bollywood experience, I thought it was a good start. While the plot won’t win any “Oscars” like Slumdog Millionaire, the soundtrack and music video production was spectacular. It features an amazing music fusion of Bhangra music (I believe), with other genres like Spanish, Latin and Hip-Hop. As Latin sounds fused with ‘Bollywood’ is becoming more popular, I thought I’d give our viewers at taste of the catchy beat that made me buy the whole soundtrack. The clip below is from the movie (they play music videos between specific scenes in the movie). The song name is called “Touch Me, Don’t Touch Me”. You should notice that they sing all three languages in the song: English, Spanish and Hindi. (how cool is that?)
You can see most of the dancers perform salsa-like moves in the very beginning of the video. As for the music, pay attention to the rhythm section of the song. Enjoy!

You know you are addicted to salsa, when you buy a scented candle just because it had a cool reference to salsa (not even dancing related) and are thankful that once you lit it, it does not make the room smell like a sweaty nightclub.
For those visitors who be interested in this item, I bought it at Bath and Body Works (here).
