| ziakut (Slightly North of Obvlivion) | Posted: Jan 09, 2013 - 10:43 Bass part alone deserves a high score. |

| Andy_B (aboard MV "Horizon," east coast Fla) | Posted: Oct 07, 2012 - 07:56 You've got to like the genre to appreciate it. Ranks W-A-A-A-Y higher than rated. |
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Oct 07, 2012 - 07:54 I don't know what to make of this; I find it to be a lot of fun, but very annoying at the same time. Guess it's something I"d have to be in the right mood to hear, maybe I'm not in that mood right now. Reminds me a bit of Yellow. I'm never not in the mood to hear a Yellow tune though. |
| jocelynsart | Posted: Aug 05, 2012 - 07:11 Was a bit shocked to see that rating too Poacher wrote: A (current) 4.3 rating? Strange that this is rated so low, I think it fits perfectly on RP for an occasional play. . . sometimes the ratings here make no sense to me, but as they are obviously a true representation of the feelings of RP listeners then I'll just have to admit I am sometimes slightly out of step with the majority. . . which to be honest, is something I have been for all my years. |

This one is horrible and and plays right into cheesy Latin stereotypes, right enough, but RP does play some pretty good Spanish-language artists on a regular basis. Calexico, Los Lobos and Cuban artists come immediately to mind. |
| fede550 (Montevideo) | Posted: Sep 23, 2011 - 11:01 Why are most spanish songs aired at radioparadise so horrible? Moreover, why do they almost always belong to "caribbean" genres? Some Piazzolla's tangos are heard now and then, but if the idea is to keep music as "native" as possible, other latinamerican artists/genres may be included (e.g. the great Mercedes Sosa). All in all, I am not liking this rather obtuse representation of latinamerica and its music. |

| dmd (Montreal) | Posted: Jul 24, 2004 - 19:57 Saw them live at Jazzfest here in Mtl two weeks ago on an outdoor stage and they did have a fair amount of synths on stage along with the real percussionist, who was indeed solid. In order to appreciate this ya'll, ya really gotta see them dancing and going nuts on stage. Context is everything sometimes. BillG wrote: Unless I'm very much mistaken, all of the percussion & drum parts on this are played live by actual humans (a very talented crew of NYC & So. American session players). Hard to get that solid of a groove from a machine. Not that I have anything against electronic drum tracks & loops - but that's not what's happening here. |

| DBCinCA (California) | Posted: Feb 01, 2004 - 22:11 I'm sorry, but anyone giving this song a 10 needs their head examined, starting at the ears (defective maybe?). I mean, if you can give this a ten, you can give half of the music in the world a 10, and then, what are all those other numbers for? :-k |
| Zeke19 (NYC) | Posted: Jan 22, 2004 - 13:12 queso queso queso |
| PattonFever (tripoli) | Posted: Jan 02, 2004 - 00:03 this song would be more enjoyable had i not just heard it yesterday!!! thanks! |

| Platypus (here, now) | Posted: Nov 20, 2003 - 09:44 holy hell. what have we done to deserve this punishment?? this is making me want to rip my ears off and stomp on them. i guess i'll just switch the station instead. yuck. |

So then it would be a good segue with T.Rex' "Get it On." ("...you got the teeth of the hydra upon you...") |
| eric | Posted: Nov 11, 2003 - 11:45 Seriously annoying. |

Dunno, but as someone still learning Spanish, AFAIK: "Buena Yerba" = "Good grass" (yes, that sort of grass) La Gringa = "The stranger" (female) Does that help? ;-) |
| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Oct 01, 2003 - 11:09 I don't understand Spanish, but everybody around me speaks it rapid fire and nonstop - is this about visiting porn sites? Anyway, it makes sense followed by Wall of Voodoo's Mexican Radio . Bill be all about the context. |
| Platypus (here, now) | Posted: Sep 09, 2003 - 15:11 :? even "world" music has its fair share of cheese, i suppose. |

| catsoup (Euclid, OH) | Posted: Jul 14, 2003 - 13:49 I guess I could give it more than a 3 if I didn't hear it every farking day. :( Makes me look back fondly on the days of "Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World". |
| rKokon (Colesville, MD) | Posted: Jul 12, 2003 - 12:01 I can do without the Latino-salsa-merengue-cha crossover in my rock music. Cuban "charanga" is great in its place . . . but for me that place is not called "rock music." Good for dance venues. And I am allergic to brass instruments in rock. To me they are like putting salt in coffee--some more so than others.  |
