'gasolina' was pretty big here in the uk (in the top ten chart i think)- but its the only track i've heard
it reminded of the whole speed gar(b)age explosion that happened here in the UK which has now transformed into 'grime' music - a lot of youthful energy/anger which is exhilerating but not enough musical ideas/talent to really make any large impact
there seems to be a lot of this type of music around these days - kind of like an electronic punk using basic software like fruity loops (i read above), reggaeton is the
pr version but you can bet that its happening all over the world
i think music that really makes an impact in a large sense like rock/hip-hop/jazz/reggae whatever has a little more 'depth' - it can go places that are a long way from its inception but still relate to what kicked the whole thing off. i cant here reggaeton or any of these other styles doing this
but if i was 17 and hispanic i'd probably love it
